• Minimum 3 years in financial planning and investment sales.
• Mutual Funds Certified Professional with current MFDA licensing (Investments Funds in Canada or Canadian Securities Course).
• Completed or working towards a PFP or CFP designation.

• Goal-oriented, entrepreneurial, and able to work independently or as part of a team.
• Extensive knowledge of market offerings, trends, economic conditions, and regulations.
• Valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle for client meetings.

What We Offer:

• Entrepreneurial culture with career development opportunities.
• Flexible, fast-paced work environment with self-set hours.
• Compensation based on base plus variable pay, rewarding client growth and retention.
• Advanced resources including marketing support, mobile technology, CRM, and financial planning software.
• Opportunity to build lasting client relationships through excellent service.
• Remote client engagement capabilities.
• Collaborative partnership with branches and Scotia Global Asset Management.
• Inclusive, respectful work culture promoting diversity.
