One of Canada’s Most Trusted Investment Brands.

At Picton Mahoney Asset Management (PICTON Investments) being alternative isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.

Founded by industry pioneer David Picton, we’ve spent 20 years challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the investing landscape. As one of Canada’s most trusted investment brands, we are proudly independent—privately run, 100% employee-owned, and deeply committed to delivering results for our clients.

Thinking Alternatively is in Our DNA.

With a team of 171 bold thinkers—one-third dedicated solely to investment management—we are specialists, not generalists. Managing $15.7 billion for institutional and retail clients, we navigate markets with conviction, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach.

We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors.

Our success is built on four guiding principles:

  • Treat investors’ money like our own.

  • Redefine the way investors invest.

  • Be human—always approachable.

  • Succeed together, one investment at a time.

These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work.

Now, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a dynamic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next.

With competitive total rewards, performance-based bonuses, and a clear path for career growth, you’ll have everything you need to develop both now and over the longer term.

The Opportunity

Your sales career at PICTON Investments begins with the role of Business Development Associate (BDA) — a foundational position based out of our Montreal office, setting the stage for a rewarding career in sales within one of Canada’s most dynamic and entrepreneurial asset management firms!

As a BDA, you’ll have the opportunity to lead, learn, and grow, playing an essential role in supporting territory sales strategies and driving meaningful advisor engagement. You'll be on the front lines of business development, contributing directly to pipeline generation, event execution, and strategic advisor outreach — all while honing your skills in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

As our Quebec office continues to evolve, the BDA will temporarily assist with broader sales initiatives and ad hoc support across the Retail Sales team, in addition to their core territory responsibilities. This is more than just a stepping stone — it’s your opportunity to be part of a high-performing team, gain exposure to innovative products and strategies, and make an impact from day one!

To support your success, PICTON Investments offers robust training and ongoing development, giving you the tools, mentorship, and exposure needed to build your path toward a future wholesaling or leadership role.

  • Contribute to advisor outreach through evolving tools and channels, including video outreach platforms (e.g., video messaging), which will form part of future performance KPIs.

  • Act as a key territory contact and collaborate closely with wholesalers, product teams, and marketing partners.

Events & Campaign Support

  • Coordinate advisor events, webinars, and sponsorship initiatives in collaboration with marketing and compliance teams.

  • Liaise with internal stakeholders to ensure events align with brand expectations, budget, and business priorities.

CRM Reporting & Compliance

Sales Administrative & Operational Support

  • Assist with calendar coordination, meeting logistics, expense processing, and internal documentation.

  • Support broader sales initiatives and special projects as needed to ensure territory and national goals are met.

  • Take on flexible, high-impact responsibilities supporting Sales Leadership and Retail Sales, including additional tasks as needed.

What we’re looking for

  • 1–3 years of experience in a sales, financial services, or client-facing role; experience within asset or wealth management is a strong asset.

  • CSC designation is not required but is considered an asset. A keen interest in obtaining the designation upon hire is preferred.

  • Bilingualism in French is required.

  • Post-secondary education in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline.

  • Proficiency with CRM platforms (Salesforce preferred) and the Microsoft Office Suite.

  • Highly organized, self-motivated, and eager to learn and grow within a competitive, fast-paced industry.
