Franvests investments include Orangetheory Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Waxing the City, The Bar Method and The Dog Stop, plus real estate investments in Alberta and the US. Applicants with an interest in private equity, franchising and / or mergers and acquisitions will be preferred.

About the Role :

We are seeking a highly motivated and intellectually curious individual to join our firm as an Executive Assistant. This is a unique, career-track opportunity designed for a recent business graduate who aspires to become an investment associate. The successful candidate will initially serve in an Executive Assistant capacity to the CEO and Directors, gaining high-level exposure to investment strategy, deal flow, and portfolio management. Over time, and with demonstrated performance, the role will transition into a full-time Associate position.

Key Responsibilities (Phase 1 : Executive Assistant)

Provide direct support to the CEO, including calendar management, travel coordination, meeting logistics, professional correspondence and other personal management duties.

Prepare presentation materials, coordinate meetings with internal and external stakeholders, and manage follow-ups.

Assist in organizing investment committee meetings, strategic planning sessions, and portfolio reviews.

Evaluate and implement productivity and workflow tools to enhance CEO and firm efficiency.

Begin participating in early-stage deal flow and due diligence activities alongside the CEO.

Key Responsibilities (Phase 2 : Transition to Associate)

Conduct financial, market, and competitive research to support sourcing and evaluating investment opportunities.

Build and maintain detailed financial models for valuations, acquisitions, and performance tracking.

Assist in the evaluation and implementation of software solutions for portfolio companies, including ERP, CRM, scheduling, and analytics platforms.

Leverage AI tools to improve research efficiency, operational reporting, and investment analysis.

Support deal execution, due diligence, and ongoing portfolio company performance tracking.

Qualifications :

A four-year degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field, ideally with additional coursework or experience in Information Technology or Data Analytics.

Strong analytical and financial modeling skills; previous internship or full-time experience in finance, consulting, or tech-enabled businesses is an asset.

Demonstrated ability to assess, implement, or support business software solutions.

Advanced proficiency with Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with AI tools, data visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, Power BI), or coding (e.g., Python, SQL) is a strong plus.

Excellent organizational and communication skills; able to manage multiple priorities with discretion and professionalism.

Entrepreneurial mindset, high personal integrity, and a genuine interest in private equity and business building.

Why Join Us :

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the CEO and senior leadership of a private equity firm and build a long-term career. The role offers early exposure to deals, strategy, and portfolio operations, with a built-in progression to Associate responsibilities for the right candidate. Youll gain practical experience at the intersection of finance, operations, and technology.
