FirePower Capital is the investment banking and private capital firm built for Canada's entrepreneurs. The firm helps mid-market businesses complete mission-critical transactions.
Rapid growth in our Private Debt division requires the addition of a Senior Manager or Manager of Finance and Operations.

Our Private Capital division provides venture or subordinated loans of $1m to $20m to fast-growing Canadian companies. Our Private Equity division looks investing controlpositions in Canadian companies with EBITDA between $1m to $5m, as well as distressed or turnaround opportunities. This role would encompass financial and operational support for both, with an emphasis on Private Debt to start. We pride ourselves in being the first name entrepreneurs think of when they ask themselves the most strategic questions they face in the most important of times.

You are energetic, positive, take pride in you and your team's quality of work, and demonstrate your commitment to excellence in everything you do. You are passionate about solving challenging, real world problems ingeniously, in a collaborative environment. You are focused on continuous improvement in your work and position within the organization; you believe that you will never stop learning, and are passionate about helping others do the same. You maintain high standards of professional and ethical conduct.
