  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); familiarity with Salesforce is an asset.
  • Curious, proactive, and eager to learn from experienced professionals.

What's in it for you:

  • Hands-on experience in sales, client relationship management, and business development within asset management.
