Are you our next Investment Manager?
You want your work to lead to real, measurable impact: improving and saving lives in over 100 countries. You’ve cut your teeth in finance, investing, grant making or entrepreneurship. You know how to source pipeline, assess investment opportunities, run due diligence, and negotiate terms or agreements. You enjoy backing bold ideas and working closely with the founders and teams who lead them. You are self-directed, take smart risks, and are driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit that drives the innovators we fund. You share our investment philosophy and have ideas about how to make it better. If this is you, keep reading.
Why this role, and why now
Grand Challenges Canada backs Bold Ideas with Big Impact®. We are a global innovation platform and one of the world’s leading impact-first investors, working toward a future where innovation helps everyone thrive. With support from the Government of Canada and other partners, we use a Grand Challenges approach to identify, invest in, and help scale bold, locally led solutions that advance health, equity, and resilience in low- and middle-income countries and Canada. We back bold ideas from seed to scale, combining capital, advisory support, and strategic partnerships to help them grow and succeed. As an Investment Manager, you’ll bring institutional grade rigor to deal assessment, structuring, and negotiation, and apply it directly to innovations working to save and improve lives at scale.
What you’ll do
As a core member of the Impact Investments team, you’ll play a critical role in delivering high impact, well structured investments aligned with GCC’s Grand Challenge Portfolios. Reporting to an Associate Director and working closely with Associates and cross functional colleagues, you’ll support end to end deal execution, from pipeline sourcing and due diligence, through Investment Committee approval, to contract negotiation and handoff to the Portfolio Management team.
