  • Ensure supervisory findings, exceptions, and identified risks are appropriately communicated, documented, escalated, and resolved in a timely manner.
  • Provide effective oversight and challenge of Tier 1 supervisory activities to ensure supervisory controls are operating effectively and consistently across the dealer.
  • Lead enhancements to supervision methodologies, monitoring programs, reporting processes, supervisory workflows, and supporting technologies.
  • Support regulatory examinations, compliance reviews, internal audits, and responses to regulatory inquiries related to Tier 2 account supervision activities.
  • Provide subject matter expertise on CIRO Dealer Rules, securities legislation, internal policies, and industry best practices related to Tier 2 account supervision and sales conduct oversight.
  • Partner with Legal, Risk, Compliance, Operations, Distribution, Technology, and Senior Leadership to address emerging risks, regulatory developments, and strategic initiatives.
  • Deliver training and guidance to business and supervisory personnel on supervisory obligations, regulatory expectations, emerging risks, and best practices.
  • Prepare executive-level reporting and key risk metrics for senior management, governance committees, and the Board regarding supervisory activities, trends, risks, and control effectiveness.
  • Identify, assess, challenge, and oversee any related supervisory issues identified, ensuring action plans are appropriate, timely, and sustainable.
  • Network with industry peers and regulatory stakeholders to remain current on regulatory developments, supervisory expectations, and industry best practices.
  • Support risk assessments, compliance testing, and internal audits relevant to Tier 2 account supervision.
  • Provide subject-matter expertise in the interpretation of all applicable rules, legislation, and guidelines affecting Tier 2 account supervision.
  • Deliver training to internal stakeholders on head office supervisory requirements, reporting obligations, trends, and regulatory obligations.
Qualifications & Experience
  • Typically, 8+ years of relevant experience in compliance or supervision, preferably within a mutual fund dealer, investment dealer, or applicable regulator. A post-secondary degree in a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Detailed knowledge of CIRO Dealer Rules, provincial securities legislation, and account supervision requirements applicable to mutual fund dealers and preferably investment dealers.
  • Strong understanding of suitability requirements, client-focused reforms, account supervision practices, sales conduct oversight, conflict management, supervisory controls, and risk-based monitoring frameworks.
  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing teams is preferred.
  • Exceptional analytical, investigative, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Recognized industry and compliance courses or designations preferred (e.g., CSC, CPH, PDO, CCO Qualifying Exam, CIM, CAMS, or equivalent).
  • Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex regulatory matters to diverse audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to exercise sound regulatory judgment, effectively challenge business practices, and provide credible oversight and independent review.
  • Ability to synthesize complex information and provide meaningful insights and recommendations to senior management and governance committees.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across business, compliance, risk, legal, and operational functions.
