• Ensure the proper integration of the software with other software that will be implemented for the client

• Participate in the development of the specific testing strategy for the software configuration and new developments

• Participate in the review of test scenarios with the selection criteria required by the plan

• Provide support to the quality assurance team

• Collaborate in the development of the software by providing suggestions for improvement to the responsible team

What you bring:

• University degree in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics or finance

• 8+ years’ experience in the DB pension space

• 2+ years' experience in DB pension implementation, system configuration and quality assurance testing

• Mastering of complex DB pension plans calculations

• Ability to understand and use current computer technologies including an advanced knowledge of Excel software

• Recognized, among other things, for analytical and summarizing skills, sense of organization and flexibility in terms of managing multiple projects

• Excellent initiative and problem solving skills

• Ability to establish priorities, delegate properly and meet timelines

• Available to travel occasionally (Canada, US)

What's in it for you:

• Incomparable versatility in pension calculations and plan administration across Canadian and American markets

• Deep expertise in an innovative and specialized field that sets you apart in the pension industry

• Multiple implementation projects with leading clients across North America, expanding your portfolio and professional network

• Flexibility to work from anywhere in Canada while maintaining a healthy work-life balance with comprehensive benefits

• A corporate culture centered on mutual aid, social impact, well-being, and diversity
