• Proven credibility and production history with a significant book of business and respected industry presence.
• Extensive recruiting network and strong relationships across the Canadian independent dealer community.
• Entrepreneurial, hands‑on leadership style suited to managing independent professionals.
• Deep understanding of IIROC compliance and branch operations (experience in a self-clearing environment is advantageous).
• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.

• Highly competitive, performance-driven package that combines a base salary, personal production income, and annual incentive aligned to branch profitability.
• Opportunity for equity participation in an employee-owned firm.
