That’s what Passage is here to create. We aren’t just a bridge of financial support; we connect families all around the world to life-changing opportunities. We believe in a future where deserving students can pursue their dreams and ambitions - even if their parents don’t have money. Our mission is bold but simple: by 2030, we aim to dismantle the barriers preventing brilliant minds from accessing the opportunities they deserve. Starting with financial barriers, we’re offering loans to international students and refugees, helping them pursue better education in Canada and unlock a world of possibilities - not just for themselves, but for their families and future generations, too. Who you are We’re looking for a Strategic Finance Senior Associate with 3–5 years of experience in transaction-driven or high-intensity analytical environments.

You are comfortable owning a model from blank sheet to final recommendation, presenting conclusions clearly, and partnering cross-functionally to drive execution. You are hands-on and execution-oriented. You are willing to roll up your sleeves, build the model yourself, and operate without a large team behind you.
