• Monitor the financial performance of investments held in the portfolio;

• Contribute to supervising and mentoring a team of analysts, promoting a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous development;

• Work cross-functionally with other Caisse teams (Infrastructure, Private Placements, Public Markets, Risk, Legal Affairs);
