The Investment Specialist (Senior Investment Product Manager) is an investment product expert who communicates the complexities and opportunities across Mackenzie’s Mutual Fund and ETF shelf to various internal and external stakeholders.
The ideal candidate has a strong technical background paired with demonstrated communication skills: spoken, written and via presentation materials. The role requires a nuanced understanding of the value of fundamental and quantitative and portfolio management techniques, as well as the communication skills to distill that down into meaningful narratives to less technical stakeholders. This position reports to the VP, Senior Investment Director, Fixed Income and Multi Asset Strategies. The Investment Specialist will also provide input and support to strategic direction, develop insights, and interact with the portfolio management teams around the positioning of their products.
They will play an active and important role in support of Mackenzie’s growth in the following areas:
• Own investment representation end-to-end. Develop deep understanding of assigned strategies, including philosophy, portfolio construction, positioning, performance drivers, and risk exposures. Monitor markets and portfolio developments to assess implications for positioning and messaging. Work directly with Portfolio Managers to define, refine, and align on content, ensuring accuracy, timing, workflow, and quality meet investment team expectations. Translate investment thinking into clear, structured narratives and positioning frameworks that can be consistently applied across Sales, Product, and portfolio construction.
• Deliver core product content. Produce required materials (e.g., QFRs, MFRPs, commentaries, presentations) accurately and on time, ensuring outputs clearly articulate performance, positioning, and rationale. Maintain consistent structure, clarity, and quality across all deliverables. Work with Portfolio Managers and internal stakeholders to ensure materials reflect current views and can be used directly by Sales without rework. Manage timelines, inputs, and review processes to ensure reliable and repeatable delivery.
• Enable Sales through strategy-level guidance. Provide clear, practical direction on how individual strategies should be positioned and used in client conversations. Engage with Sales teams to understand client needs, objections, and demand signals, and incorporate that feedback into positioning and messaging. Support priority strategies with targeted guidance, training inputs, and ongoing updates, ensuring Sales can confidently and consistently represent each mandate in the market.
• Support portfolio construction and Guided Portfolios. Work with Portfolio Strategists and the Director, Investment Strategy to determine how Mackenzie boutique mandates are expressed within portfolios and positioned in line with Global Investment Committee views. Develop clear views on how strategies contribute within portfolios, including positioning, exposures, and role in asset allocation. Provide inputs that are analytically sound and usable in portfolio construction decisions, ensuring consistency between strategy-level insights and portfolio-level application.
• Develop training materials and support capability building. Partner with Sales and Learning & Development (L&D) to define training needs and develop materials that ensure Sales teams are informed on products, performance, and strategy positioning. Ensure training content reflects current market conditions and investment views. Support delivery and ongoing updates to reinforce key messages and maintain consistency of knowledge across the sales organization
