Analyst

Being a Segregation & Buy-in Analyst means working in an environment that encourages going above and beyond, and building strong relationships with internal and external partners. It means having the opportunity to grow within a team that values collaboration, innovation, performance, and partner satisfaction.

The Segregation & Buy-in team is responsible for ensuring that our clients’ fully paid securities are held separately from other securities. This is what we refer to as the segregation of securities. The segregation team analyzes daily segregation deficiencies to resolve them within the timeframes prescribed by regulation. It is also responsible for managing all buy-ins for our Canadian and U.S. brokerages. Buy-ins are carried out to regularize segregation deficiencies but also to facilitate Continuous Net Settlement (CNS/NSCC) and broker-to-broker settlement (COD/TFT). Additionally, the team is responsible for enforcing Rule 204 of the SEC’s Regulation SHO.

Your main challenges:

• Contribute to resolving segregation deficiencies and buy-ins within regulatory or market deadlines;
• Maintain close relationships with key partners;
• Learn the applicable regulations (CIRO, SEC, FINRA);
• Demonstrate strong interest in data analysis (“data savviness”).

More specifically, you will be expected to:

• Analyze segregation deficiencies and ensure they are regularized within regulatory deadlines;
• Send or resend buy-in notices in a timely manner and proceed with buy-ins when deadlines are not met;
• Identify transformation opportunities and discuss them with senior analysts;
• Develop close relationships with partners.

Education and experience:

• Three-year college diploma or equivalent academic background related to the field, plus four years of relevant experience, or a bachelor’s degree related to the field;
• Strong interest in regulation, securities, and financial markets;
• Knowledge of applicable regulations is an asset;

• Familiarity with ISM(OSS), MAX/Arrow, AS400, and CDS/DTC platforms is an asset;
• Analytical and synthesis skills, initiative, autonomy, and ownership;
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills;
