At Cameron Stephens, we’re building one of Canada’s leading platforms for commercial real estate lending and investment.

Cameron Stephens currently manages approximately $535 million in private capital across three vehicles: Bay Street High Yield Fund (BSHY), Cameron Stephens Mortgage Trust (CSMT), and Western Canada High Yield Fund (WCHY). Our Investment Management group provides portfolio oversight, performance analysis, and investment recommendations across these platforms — balancing disciplined credit underwriting with innovative fund strategies.

As Director, Investment Management, you’ll play a key role in driving fund performance, managing capital, and advancing new investment initiatives across both debt and equity. Working closely with the SVP, you’ll help shape fund strategy, oversee credit risk, and contribute to the design of new investment vehicles.

You’ll also play a hands-on role in building and scaling the Accelerated Lending Program. Designed to enhance returns and capital efficiency, this program enables rapid deployment of proprietary capital into shorter-term, high-quality commercial real estate loans.

This is a dynamic opportunity for an entrepreneurial investment professional with deep credit and underwriting expertise in commercial real estate, a strategic mindset, and strong financial acumen.

This role will evolve as the Investment Management function continues to grow; the successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment where responsibilities expand and adapt alongside the needs of the business.
