The role oversees the management of regulatory inquiries and examinations, provides senior‑level escalation of key risk issues, and ensures high‑quality execution of C&OR activities across teams through strong oversight and review practices.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead country-level C&OR risk assessments and contribute to broader regional assessments, incorporating external loss event reviews to evaluate control effectiveness.
  • Produce country-level C&OR reporting, identifying, aggregating, and escalating key compliance and operational risks.
  • Identify, validate, and document internal loss events and near misses; perform root‑cause analyses and develop remediation plans.
  • Review and document relevant external loss events to inform risk assessments.
  • Ensure timely and appropriate remediation of Internal Audit, regulatory, and self‑identified issues owned by Compliance & Operational Risk.
  • Oversee responses to regulatory inquiries and exams, ensuring consistent and effective management by relevant C&OR officers.
  • Evaluate internal audit findings, regulatory issues, and monitoring & testing (M&T) results; advise on required remediation in the country.
  • Contribute to the development of C&OR monitoring & testing plans.
  • Develop and maintain local C&OR training plans.
  • Execute governance routines and participate in management committees as required.
  • Monitor regulatory changes at both local and regional levels; advise stakeholders on impacts and direct updates to relevant policies, procedures, and processes.
  • Lead or support C&OR‑related projects and other responsibilities as assigned.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 10 years of compliance experience within a full‑service investment dealer.
  • Strong knowledge of the Canadian regulatory landscape, including CIRO rules, National Instruments, and UMIR.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • Proven ability to manage compliance programs and lead teams, with 2–5 years of supervisory experience.
  • Experience with listed and OTC securities and derivatives trading and/or operations.
