About the Role

Purpose Investments is seeking an individual to generate alpha through differentiated credit insight while protecting downside risk, leveraging AI as an edge. This is a true investing role where you will own positions, contribute to capital allocation, and utilize advanced tools and data infrastructure to outperform the market.

Responsibilities

• Develop and defend differentiated credit theses with clear catalysts and risk/reward frameworks.
• Exercise judgment at the intersection of data and uncertainty, particularly in stressed and distressed situations.
• Build genuine issuer relationships that surface information before it reaches the market.
• Challenge AI-generated outputs when your read of the credit diverges from the model.
• Translate macro developments into actionable conviction in a high-conviction portfolio.
• Source and develop high-conviction opportunities across high yield bonds, leveraged loans, and stressed credit.
• Own select positions end-to-end: underwriting, monitoring, and exit decisions.
• Lead fundamental issuer analysis using AI-assisted modeling as a starting point.
• Evaluate capital structures, covenant protections, and recovery scenarios with depth.
• Stress-test models across base, downside, and tail-risk cases.
• Assess liquidity and default probability with rigor.
• Actively contribute to sizing, diversification, and risk-budgeting decisions.
• Participate in entry, exit, and rebalancing decisions as an accountable contributor.
• Develop and maintain views on credit markets, spreads, and liquidity.
• Direct AI tools to synthesize sector dynamics, issuer data, and macro signals.
• Identify dislocations and thematic opportunities before they are consensus.

Requirements

• 4–8 years in credit investing, leveraged finance, or investment banking with a clear track record of analytical ownership.
• Deep fluency in high yield bonds, leveraged loans, and credit markets.
• Demonstrated capacity to build and stress-test financial models with conviction.
• Judgment under uncertainty; experience making and defending investment calls.
• Ongoing curiosity to improve and learn new skillsets.
• Experience directing AI tools to accelerate workflow without outsourcing thinking.
• Comfort operating at the intersection of fundamental credit analysis and data-driven signal.
• A track record of identifying ideas early.
• Strong communication skills – clarity and confidence in writing and speaking.
• Must be legally entitled to work in Canada.
• Immigration sponsorship is not offered for this role.
