Venture Capital Associate jobs

Who we are

RWT Capital is a fast-growing mid-market investment bank and a MAYA Culture 100 Canada honouree. We advise on transactions from $7.5M to $200M+ across 16+ countries, with $3B+ in transactions advised over 30 years. Our culture was built in a high-intensity, deal-driven environment: we move fast, own our work, and back each other up when deals get demanding.

About the Role

As a Senior Associate, you'll lead key workstreams on M&A transactions, work directly with clients and senior leadership through closing, and help develop the analysts coming up behind you. If you want to grow your career at a firm that's growing just as quickly, this is the seat.

What We’re Looking For

• A good listener who takes the time to understand a client's goals before offering solutions.
• An articulate, confident communicator who can walk into a room of business owners and hold your own.
• Hungry and entrepreneurial: you want to build something meaningful for yourself, not just collect a paycheck.
• A polished, professional presence we'd trust to represent RWT in front of clients.
• A strategic problem-solver with strong commercial intuition.
• Genuine interest in M&A, capital markets, and market trends.
