Diverse and Inclusive Workplace

Here at Canaccord Genuity, we are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace culture.

As a Work180 endorsed employer, we are proud to empower and champion women in finance. Read what some of our valued employees have to say:

  Courtney Libby, Perth

"Canaccord Genuity recognised the transferable skills I had as a corporate lawyer and gave me a go at my first role in investment banking, which is indicative of the innovative and supportive environment fostered at Canaccord Genuity. Since then, I have been provided with the opportunity to undertake a 10-month secondment to our Toronto office, which allowed me to meet the global team and continue to upskill, and to be one of the first female Chairs at Diggers and Dealers in Kalgoorlie. Not only has management been a huge proponent of my career progression, but the whole Canaccord Genuity team, both nationally and globally, is extremely cohesive which makes it such a fantastic and enjoyable place to work."

  Arina Chong, Sydney

"I started at Canaccord Genuity as an Associate, initially drawn to a career as a Financial Adviser. From the beginning, Canaccord Genuity has been an incredible supporter of my career development, including my pursuit of a Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning. As my exposure to the industry widened, Canaccord Genuity continued to support my shift in career aspirations by offering me a role as Onboarding and Training Manager. Throughout my time at Canaccord Genuity, I have found myself immersed in a culture that thrives on collaboration. Along with the ongoing guidance and support from my colleagues, it enabled me to develop a diverse skillset."

  Laura Gallagher, Perth

"Over the past eight years, Canaccord Genuity has recognised my hard work and dedication, providing me with ample opportunities to develop my career to its fullest potential. I have received incredible support and understanding during my parental leave, with access to Canaccord Genuity's paid parental leave allowing me to extend my time off to 14 months. Canaccord Genuity's commitment to a work-life balance was evident as they provided me with the opportunity to fully embrace the joys of parenthood while also maintaining job security. Canaccord Genuity has also taken proactive steps to create a nurturing and supportive breastfeeding friendly environment. This invaluable flexibility and support allowed me to seamlessly transition back into the workplace, ensuring harmonious integration of my personal and professional responsibilities."
