Senior Technology Lead

POSITION: Senior Technology Lead
STATUS: Permanent – Full-time
LOCATION: Westmount, Montreal
REPORTS TO: Chief Operating Officer

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Walter Capital Management (WCM) is a Montreal-based investment firm dedicated to serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals, wealthy families, and institutional investors. WCM operates across three complementary business units — Walter Capital Partners (WCP), Walter Global Asset Management (WGAM), and Walter Public Investments (WPI) — offering a fully integrated platform spanning private equity, global asset management, and public markets.

At WCM, technology is a strategic lever. We invest meaningfully in data infrastructure, enterprise systems, and digital capabilities to deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients and our internal teams.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are seeking an experienced and highly capable Senior Technology Lead to own and drive WCM’s technology agenda, reporting directly to a tech-focused Chief Operating Officer. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for a builder-operator — someone who combines deep technical proficiency with strong business acumen and the drive to operate with a high degree of autonomy.

The Senior Technology Lead will take direct ownership of a broad portfolio of strategic projects spanning all three business units, with a mandate to implement, integrate, and continuously improve the systems and tools that power WCM’s operations.

KEY RESPONSABILITIES

Systems Implementation & Integration

  • Lead the end-to-end implementation of enterprise systems across business units, including fund accounting platforms, investor portal solutions, CRM integrations, and productivity tools
  • Design and develop integrations between internal and third-party systems via APIs, webhooks, and scripting to ensure seamless data flows across the organization
  • Build and maintain internal tools, automation scripts, and prototypes that improve operational efficiency and reporting accuracy
  • Oversee data consolidation initiatives aimed at providing a unified view of client portfolios and financial information across WCP, WGAM, and WPI

Enterprise Technology Evaluation & Selection

  • Lead structured evaluations of enterprise software solutions, including fund accounting systems, investor portals, AI and LLM tools, analysis platforms, and other productivity solutions
  • Define and document requirements in collaboration with department heads and business unit leaders, and translate those requirements into actionable technical recommendations
  • Manage vendor relationships, conduct RFPs, and support negotiation and contracting processes

Project Management & Reporting

  • Own project planning, execution, and delivery for active technology initiatives across the enterprise
  • Maintain clear and consistent reporting on project status, milestones, risks, and outcomes for the COO and senior leadership
  • Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and external consultants or vendors to ensure projects are delivered on time and on scope

Technology Advisory & Strategic Support

  • Provide technology due diligence and advisory services in support of acquisition targets and public equity research projects
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of company-wide technology policies, governance frameworks, and data security standards
  • Serve as a trusted technology advisor to department heads and business unit leaders across the organization

WHO YOU ARE

You are a senior technology professional with 8 or more years of experience across technology implementation, systems integration, and digital transformation. You have built and deployed tools, not just managed their deployment. You are equally comfortable writing a Python script, configuring an API integration, and presenting a technology roadmap to executive leadership.

You thrive in environments where you are trusted to take ownership, define the path forward, and deliver results independently. You have a natural ability to translate complex business requirements into workable, pragmatic technical solutions — and you know when to build versus when to buy.

  • Familiarity with AI and LLM tools and their practical enterprise applications
  • Strong project management skills with a track record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives
