POSITION SUMMARY
The Director of Impact Investment for Early-Stage Enterprises will collaborate closely with the Managing Director of Thrive Lab to spearhead our innovative co-investment initiative, deploying $50M in equity and equity-like capital to women-led, socially impactful businesses. We seek a mission-driven leader to help us create something truly unique and significant within the Canadian impact and venture capital landscape, aiming to enhance access to capital for women entrepreneurs. With a background in impact investing and support for early-stage startups, the Director will be instrumental in structuring capital deployment through various financial instruments. Investments will be allocated in partnership with a select group of ecosystem collaborators, including accelerators, incubators, angel investor networks, and family offices. Therefore, the Director must exhibit the ability to cultivate and sustain trust-based relationships with diverse stakeholders. They should demonstrate ingenuity in proposing solutions that address the needs of women-led, impact-driven enterprises, ensuring accessibility for ecosystem partners while safeguarding BDC Capital's financial integrity, process fidelity, and reputation.
KEY CHALLENGES
- Develop and execute innovative strategies to allocate $50M in investments at pre-seed, seed, and late-seed stages while safeguarding BDC Capital's interests. This includes leading the financial and impact due diligence process, recommending suitable investment instruments and terms, and actively engaging in legal negotiations to fulfill Thrive Lab's objectives.
- Advance Thrive Lab's impact measurement and management framework in accordance with global best practices and standards, ensuring effective implementation and integration.
- Oversee and manage the operations of our co-investment initiative for early-stage enterprises, monitoring the financial and impact performance of deployed investments.
- Mentor and support the Investment Team in tracking and managing the financial and impact performance of investments, building and monitoring forecasts and results using relevant data, including impact and financial KPIs.
- Lead and engage the network of co-investment partners by facilitating their journey with Thrive Lab, creating initiatives that cater to their needs, and enhancing their investment capabilities.
- Assist the founders in our portfolio as they launch and expand their businesses, helping them establish a robust foundation for impact.
- Collaborate and engage in negotiations with other ecosystem investors to secure optimal investment terms and align impact objectives.
- Ensure regular reporting in collaboration with the Investment Team that adheres to BDC Capital's processes and protocols.
- Identify and address issues that arise across our initiatives, proposing solutions in a proactive, constructive, and goal-oriented manner.
- Provide rigorous yet adaptable processes that allow for agility and innovation while protecting BDC Capital's interests, ensuring these processes are followed with sensitivity and leadership.
- Represent BDC Capital and Thrive Lab on various committees, events, and potential board observer roles.
- Contribute to fostering a healthy and collaborative work environment within the team, where trust, transparency, and cooperation are vital to Thrive Lab's success.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in business, finance, law, commerce, or STEM; a graduate degree is an asset.
- Eight to ten years of relevant experience; direct investment experience is essential. Experience as a startup founder or as a coach/mentor to startup founders is a strong asset.
- Experience in impact investing is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with impact measurement and management (IMM) standards, practices, norms, and frameworks (e.g., UN SDGs, Five Dimensions of Impact, OPIM, SDG Impact, IRIS+).
- A passion for supporting women-founded/led impact enterprises. Knowledge of gender-related initiatives (e.g., 2X) is a strong asset.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and a strong ability to build trust and engage with internal and external stakeholders.
- Innovative and creative thinker; capable of challenging the status quo and influencing change through a respectful and collaborative approach.
- Strong organizational, planning, and management skills.
- Keen attention to detail while maintaining a focus on the broader picture.
- Ability to work independently and under pressure to meet tight and often conflicting deadlines.
- Strong team player.
- Capability to effectively lead and mentor a team of analysts and associates.
- Good judgment, tact, and discretion.
- Excellent oral and written communication, negotiation, and presentation skills in both official languages (French and English).
Proudly one of Canada's Top 100 Employers and one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers, we are dedicated to cultivating a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible environment where all employees can thrive and feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to work.
