With $295.0 billion of gross assets under management, as of March 31, 2025, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) is the provider of investment management services for British Columbia’s public sector and one of the largest asset managers in Canada. BCI seeks investment opportunities around the world and across a range of asset classes that convert savings into productive capital. Our investment returns play a significant role in helping our institutional clients build a financially secure future for their beneficiaries.

Headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia, and with teams spanning Vancouver, New York, London, and Mumbai.

BCI integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into all investment decisions to meet clients' risk and return requirements. Our people shape employee-focused initiatives, creating a strong culture.

Closing date: October 28, 2025

Join a globally recognized investment team—ranked as the ninth-largest institutional infrastructure investor in the world—where your work supports the long-term financial security of British Columbia’s public sector beneficiaries. This Victoria, BC based role offers the opportunity to contribute to BCI’s Infrastructure & Renewable Resources team, known for its disciplined, long-term investment approach.

We’re looking for a purpose-driven professional with a strong foundation in private markets and corporate finance, who values collaboration, clear thinking, and continuous learning in a high-performing environment.

Who You Will Work With

On behalf of BCI’s clients, the Infrastructure & Renewable Resources (I&RR) team invests globally in infrastructure assets and businesses that provide stable long-term investment returns. BCI’s I&RR portfolio has $28+ billion in AUM and ranks as the ninth largest institutional infrastructure investor globally. The portfolio spans a range of sectors, including energy, transport, utilities, and data infrastructure, as well as tangible assets such as timberland and agriculture.

I&RR seeks meaningful investments predominantly in private companies that allow us to pursue an active governance approach. The team invests in various capacities in private markets, including as a sole sponsor, co-sponsor, and very selectively through externally managed funds. In addition, I&RR takes positions in listed infrastructure businesses and debt investments as a complementary strategy to private market investments.

In 2023, the I&RR team established their first international presence with the inauguration of their London, U.K. office. This strategic presence enhances the team's ability to originate and manage investments across the U.K. and Europe, reinforcing BCI's commitment to global diversification and long-term value creation.

• Proven problem-solving and critical thinking abilities
