The successful candidate will thrive in a high-energy, deadline-driven environment and understand that supporting a Capital Markets team requires responsiveness, flexibility and excellent judgment.

You will bring:

• Exceptional organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail;
• The ability to manage multiple competing and time-sensitive priorities without sacrificing accuracy;
• A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership of tasks from start to finish;
• Strong judgment, professionalism and discretion when handling confidential information;

Knowledge of investment concepts, the securities industry, Capital Markets or CRM platforms is considered an asset.
