This opportunity sits within ScotiaMcLeod, the full-service, high-net-worth wealth management arm of Scotiabank.

You’ll be joining a high-performing, growth-oriented advisory team that operates with a boutique, entrepreneurial feel, backed by a leading financial institution.

The team currently manages ~$500M in assets under management, bringing a strong and stable client base, while continuing to grow rapidly by onboarding 30–50 new clients annually.

This creates a unique opportunity to step into a hands-on investing role with real client exposure, and a clear long-term path toward equity and partnership.

? What Makes This Role Stand Out

• ~$500M AUM platform with consistent client growth
  
• Hands-on involvement in investment decisions (not just support)
  
• Direct exposure to high-net-worth clients
  
• A true partnership-style role with a Wealth Advisor
  
• Clear path toward:
  
• Becoming a full Investment Advisor
  
• Equity / partnership opportunity over time
  

This is a high-impact role where you’re contributing to both investment strategy and business growth.

• Communicate directly with clients regarding:
  
• Portfolio performance
  
• Market insights
  
• Investment recommendations
  
• Identify opportunities to grow assets and deepen client relationships
  
• Collaborate with a broader team including:
  
• Financial Planners
  
• Wealth Specialists
  
• Private Banking partners
  
• Help improve internal processes and scalability as the business grows
  

? What They’re Looking For

• 3+ years in wealth management, portfolio management, or investment advisory
  
• Strong understanding of public markets (equities & fixed income)
  
• Experience in client-facing investment discussions
  
• CIRO / Registered Representative (RR) licensing (or eligible)
  
• Professional designations are an asset (CFA, CIM)
  
• Strong analytical, communication, and relationship-building skills
  

? Ideal Profile

• Ambitious and growth-oriented
  
• Wants to move into a true advisory / revenue-generating role
  
• Entrepreneurial mindset—interested in building long-term value
  
• High level of ownership, accountability, and professionalism
  
• Comfortable working closely with clients and senior stakeholders
  

? Compensation & Upside

• Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus
  
• Strong earning potential as responsibilities grow
  
• Full benefits, pension, and share ownership programs
  
• Long-term opportunity for equity / partnership participation
  

? Why This Role is a Career Move

• Be part of a $500M AUM, fast-growing advisory team
  
• Gain hands-on investing experience, not just administrative exposure
