Description
About this role
Are you able to imagine the first step towards solving a business challenge? Can you quickly pivot to a different approach? Do you enjoy expanding an existing business with your expertise? Look no further, come join our Institutional Product Development team! This new role would involve developing and building out a new function within the US focused specifically on our Alternative products.
The Institutional Product Development team within the Global Product Group ("GPG") is currently responsible for product development across our Hedge Fund, Collective Trust Funds ("CTF") and Canadian Pooled Funds enabling growth and innovation, discipline and focus across investment product lines.
