The successful applicant will report to the Executive Director of Corporate Solutions, Commercial Department. As this role is on a global team, travel for periodic meetings and client events and a flexible schedule is required, to take early or late calls (2-3 times per week).
This will be an office-based role in Toronto, where the Corporate Solutions executive team is based, with some flexibility for working from home periodically and up-to 2 days/week once offices fully reopen.
Notwithstanding that Toronto is where we prefer locating this role, as we wish to diversify our senior management team, we will enthusiastically consider qualified candidates who are remote (either WFH or working in an office in that location) and reside in a taxation and labor law jurisdiction where Morningstar has personnel (see locations below). If remote, quarterly travel to Toronto would be required.
