What is the opportunity?

If you are passionate about managing a complex trading operation at scale and are excited about the opportunity to support a large advisor team (16 team members) in delivering a world class investment management experience to our clients, then you should definitely read on!

The Elinesky Schuett Private Wealth team of RBC Dominion Securities (Elinesky Schuett) is one the largest and fastest growing advisor teams in the country. We are leading experts in multi-generational wealth management and legacy preservation for high net worth individuals and families, business owners and executives, farmers navigating farm transitions, institutions and charitable foundations. Our mission is to improve lives through a people-first approach to wealth management and to help give our clients more meaning to their money – and we pride ourselves on recruiting, building, and retaining a values-driven team that understands this.

To continue delivering on our mission, Elinesky Schuett is currently seeking a dynamic Investment Associate to help take our trading operations to the next level. The role works closely with associates and advisors to efficiently plan, execute, monitor, and manage the portfolio and scaled investment strategy for our clients. This role is instrumental in building out and monitoring portfolio models, executing individual, bulk and FX trades, managing portfolio risk and compliance diagnostics, rebalancing the portfolios as needed, executing strategies for tax loss selling as needed, and proactively managing the portfolio for regular and irregular cash and liquidity needs for our clients. This role is as much instrumental to Trading Operations as it is in supporting cross training, leading or contributing to strategic initiatives, and helping with team capacity during urgent or peak volume periods.
