The Group
Morningstar believes in empowering investors through research, data, design, and technology.

We aim to provide a first-class experience in accessing, analyzing, and reporting on Morningstar research and data. We are deeply inquisitive; we do not take "that's just the way it's always been done" or "that's just best practice" as valid answers and instead seek to fine-tune our product development process for maximum impact. We are empowered professionals who are given problems to solve and not tickets to implement. We value team productivity over individual productivity and this culture of "giving" means we enjoy and highly value collaborating with our teammates.
The Role

This role will have a significant impact on improving our data delivery processes and enhancing client success.
To foster continuous collaboration, we follow a hybrid policy requiring a minimum of 3 days onsite in our Toronto office.
