  • Oversee discretionary portfolio management activities for both retail and institutional clients
  • Launch, structure, and manage new investment funds that align with Islamic and ESG / SRI mandates
  • Serve as the primary regulatory interface with provincial and national securities regulators
  • Collaborate with Manzil’s leadership to align portfolio strategies with broader fintech product offerings
  • Ensure full adherence to fiduciary, client reporting, and risk management requirements

Qualifications

  • Currently registered, or eligible to be registered, as a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and / or Advising Representative (AR) under Canadian securities law
  • Minimum 7–10 years of experience in investment management, including prior experience at a registered PM and / or IFM
  • Demonstrated success in launching and managing investment funds (mutual funds, pooled funds, model portfolios, etc.)
  • Strong knowledge of Canadian securities regulations and registration processes
  • Proven leadership and entrepreneurial ability to build teams, systems, and governance from scratch
  • Familiarity with values-based investing (Islamic finance, ESG, or faith-aligned models) is a strong asset

Why Join Us

  • Shape the future of ethical investing in Canada
  • Equity participation / partnership opportunity in the PM / IFM platform
  • Direct access to a rapidly growing investor base and fintech distribution engine
  • High-impact leadership role in a mission-driven, values-aligned organization
