About the role

We’re looking for a Financial Specialist for our growing private placement team, called the Distribution Financial Strategy (DFS) team.

Given that the majority of IFC’s written premiums are distributed through brokerage firms in Canada, one of IFC’s objectives is to ensure a strong and sustainable brokerage network. To do so, the Distribution Financial Strategy team provides financial support to several firms of different sizes through lending and equity investments, in addition to supporting succession planning and sound firm governance. These investments, coupled with BrokerLink’s distribution income and investments in specialty wholesalers and the OnSide restoration company, generated distribution income of $467 million in 2023, of which almost 50% came from the Distribution Financial Strategy portfolio.

Your work will contribute to the governance, financial management and development of DFS’s investment portfolio by providing innovative strategies and processes tailored to the needs of the team.

What you’ll do here :

• Oversee the implementation and execution of the portfolio’s investment governance framework.
• Create and monitor investment and project performance reports.
• Analyze processes and tools, make recommendations and implement improvements in the financial management of DFS’s investment portfolio.
• Collect, review and analyze information to support transformation initiatives and optimize financial impacts.
• Contribute to the modelling, implementation and monitoring of innovative projects for our strategic investment portfolio in the Intact network.
• Help execute and advance DFS’s financial transactions, including business valuation, negotiation of financial arrangements and related legal documentation.
• Monitor the private investment market for damage insurance in Quebec, Canada and elsewhere.
• Build lasting business relationships and work closely with internal partners from other sectors, as well as external partners.
• Support partners as needed in setting and following up on their strategic, financial and operational goals by focusing on performance, growth and profitability indicators.
• Support team members in the execution of special projects and in their day-to-day responsibilities.
