Operations Analyst,Systems & Automation Job Vancouver BC Canada,IT/Tech

Operations Analyst, Systems & Automation

Orion is hiring a hands-on Operations Analyst, Systems & Automation to help complete critical migration work and build scalable automations across Managed and Self-Directed sides of the business.

This is a builder role for someone who understands operational workflows, is comfortable working across multiple systems and datasets, and can directly ship practical solutions using code, automation tools, and AI-assisted workflows.

We are looking for someone who thrives under pressure, commits to deadlines, takes ownership of outcomes, and operates with a strong bias toward automation over manual work.

This is not a role for someone who simply executes existing processes. We want someone who actively challenges manual work, improves systems, and builds better ways of operating.

Base Salary for this role: $70,000 - $85,000 CAD

What you will do

Support migration-related work across operational systems, including data handling, transformation, validation, reconciliation, testing, and cutover support

Own automation opportunities end to end—from identifying the manual workflow to designing, building, testing, documenting, and improving the solution

Build automations that reduce manual work, improve speed and reliability, and strengthen operational control

Work across spreadsheets, flat files, APIs, internal systems, and external vendor workflows to streamline execution

Use Python, SQL, Excel / Power Query, and other practical tools to solve business problems directly

Use AI tools, copilots, and agent-based workflows as a default part of research, coding, testing, documentation, and workflow redesign

Partner with Operations, Engineering, Product, Compliance, and external vendors to move priorities forward and unblock delivery

Document workflows, logic, exceptions, and runbooks so processes become more repeatable and less dependent on tribal knowledge

Support automation and systems-improvement initiatives across both core operations and the Self-Directed business

What we are looking for

2–5+ years of relevant experience in operations, business systems, automation, data workflows, or a related field

Strong hands-on skills in Python and SQL

Strong Excel skills;
Power Query required and VBA considered an asset

Experience working with APIs, CSV / flat files, data transformations, or multi-system workflows

Practical experience using AI tools or AI agents to accelerate workflow automation, coding, analysis, testing, or documentation

Examples of tools, scripts, automations, or AI-assisted workflows you have personally built or materially improved

High ownership mindset with strong follow-through, sound judgment, and comfort operating in ambiguity

Low tolerance for repetitive manual work and a habit of redesigning inefficient processes

Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Curiosity, learning velocity, and a bias toward action

Helpful to have

Experience in fintech, brokerage, investing operations, or financial systems

Exposure to platform migrations, reconciliations, or operational controls

Familiarity with IRESS, NDEX, or similar systems

Experience building internal tools or automation solutions that were adopted by a business team

How success will be measured

Meaningful reduction in manual work across key workflows

Improved reliability, lower error rates, and less key-person dependency

Migration work delivered accurately and on time

Multiple meaningful workflows automated within the first 6 months

A clear roadmap of future automation opportunities and scalable improvements
