At Picton Mahoney Asset Management (PICTON Investments), being alternative isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. Founded by industry pioneer David Picton, we’ve spent over 20 years challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the investing landscape. As one of Canada’s most trusted investment brands, we are proudly independent—privately run, 100% employee-owned, and deeply committed to delivering results for our clients. Thinking Alternative is in Our DNA. With a team of 241 bold thinkers—one-third dedicated solely to investment management—we are specialists, not generalists. Managing $19.3 billion (as of July 31, 2026) for institutional and retail clients, we navigate markets with conviction, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach. We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors. Our success is built on four guiding principles:

Treat investors’ money like our own. Redefine the way investors invest. Be human—always approachable. Succeed together, one investment at a time. These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work. Now, we’re entering our next chapter.



We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a energetic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next. Thriving in Our Entrepreneurial Culture

At PICTON Investments, you’ll thrive in our creative and dynamic workplace, where collaboration and support are at the core of everything we do. At our firm, you’ll have the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities, work in a flexible environment, and tackle challenging projects from the outset. Our culture is designed for ambitious professionals who want to make an immediate impact while continuing to push boundaries and achieve our greater mission. You’ll be empowered with a high level of responsibility, trust, and flexibility, providing an exciting and creative space for you to help reshape how the world views alternative investments. With competitive total rewards, performance-based bonuses, and a clear path for career growth, you’ll have everything you need to develop both now and over the longer term. The Opportunity

As Chief Risk Officer, you will own the design and oversight of a comprehensive, cross-strategy risk framework — setting risk limits and guidelines, governance standards, and controls that underpin the firm's integrated approach to portfolio management. This is not a traditional oversight role.



You will operate as a core strategic partner to the CIO and Multi-Strategy PM, helping define how risk is measured, budgeted, allocated, and optimized across the platform. For a senior equity risk skilled, this is an opportunity to expand from asset-class specialization into firm-wide portfolio construction and capital allocation across multiple strategies. While remaining deeply engaged with the Equity business, you will increasingly influence portfolio decisions across Credit, Arbitrage, and other investment strategies as the platform continues to scale and mature. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and lead:

Lead Across Asset Classes

Expand from equity risk expertise into cross-asset portfolio construction across Credit, Arbitrage, and multi-strategy Design and evolve the firm’s integrated risk infrastructure, including models, limits, and governance frameworks Shape Firm-Level Capital Allocation

Own the risk budgeting process, allocating capital across strategies based on performance, correlation, and market conditions Partner directly with the Multi-Strategy PM on portfolio construction decisions Influence how risk capital is deployed, scaled, or reduced across the platform Build and Institutionalize

Establish volatility targets, drawdown controls, and capital efficiency standards Develop a risk governance model that balances rigor with commercial practicality Support the transition to a cohesive, institutionally scalable multi-strategy platform Operate as a Firm-Level Decision Maker

Contribute to the firm’s most critical portfolio decisions Build a track record as a capital allocator, with impact tied to overall firm performance What we’re looking for
