• Support the end-to-end onboarding of new funds and share classes onto distribution and transaction platforms.
• Set up and validate fund and product data across Fund Serv, IFAST, and related systems.
• Partner with product, legal, and operations teams to ensure onboarding requirements and timelines are met.

• Produce accurate and timely sales, asset, and flow reporting for internal stakeholders and distribution partners.
• Maintain data integrity across reporting sources and reconcile discrepancies between systems.
• Support ad hoc analysis and reporting requests from sales leadership and the business intelligence team.

• Support compliance requirements and reporting obligations under FINRA and OSFI regulatory frameworks.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation to support regulatory filings, audits, and reviews.
• Identify, elevate, and help remediate compliance exceptions in partnership with the compliance team.

• Administer compensation operations processes, with a specific focus on ETF compensation.
• Calculate, validate, and reconcile compensation payments and related data.
• Investigate and resolve compensation discrepancies and respond to inquiries from sales and distribution partners.

• 2+ years of relevant experience and working knowledge of SMA (Separately Managed Accounts) and ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) products.
• Hands-on experience with Fund Serv and IFAST transaction / order-routing platforms.
• Strong attention to detail and a demonstrated ability to reconcile data and resolve exceptions.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and sales/operations reporting tools.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced operations environment.

• Background in Canadian financial services operations (strongly preferred).
• Experience with Broadridge ETF processing solutions (a strong asset).
• Familiarity with FINRA and OSFI regulatory requirements.
• Post-secondary education in business, finance, or a related field.
• Relevant industry designations (e.g., Canadian Securities Course) are an asset.

• We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
