We are seeking a sharp, detail-oriented Senior Manager, Compliance Program and Assurance for our Second Line of Defence (2LoD). This is an execution-focused role working in close partnership with the Director, Compliance Program, Strategy & Assurance to run our compliance frameworks, drive our assurance program, and advise business units on control scaling.

What You'll Do
- Risk Assessment & Incident Governance: Own the maintenance of the Enterprise Risk Register against corporate appetite, while executing our end-to-end response framework for regulatory incidents and breaches.
- Audit, External Reviews & Licensing: Project-manage internal and independent compliance reviews to drive the Management Action Plan (MAP), and lead information-gathering packages for FINTRAC, the Bank of Canada, partner banks, and our Revenu Québec MSB license.
- Regulatory Compliance & Architecture: Act as the internal subject matter expert on the Retail Payments Activities Act (RPAA/RPAR) and PCMLTFA frameworks—tracking deadlines, escalating breaches, drafting impact assessments for the CAMLO, and partnering with 1LoD stakeholders on change-management and Management Information System (MIS) initiatives.
- Education & Training Culture: Maintain an audit-ready compliance culture by coordinating our standardized training delivery, tracking completions within 5 business days, and deploying targeted remedial modules when operational incidents occur.
Who You Are
- Experienced 2LoD Professional: Strong background in corporate compliance, risk management, or regulatory audit within a fast-paced, regulated environment.
- Fintech Regulatory Expert: Deep working knowledge of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), FINTRAC guidelines, and the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) supervisory frameworks.
- Strong Technical Writer & Reporter: Exceptional formal report writing and evidence documentation skills, with a proven ability to translate complex data into clear auditable records or compliance dashboards.
- Collaborative Change Partner: You excel at partnering with 1LoD business units on change-management initiatives, providing practical guidance, and supporting the maintenance of an effective Management Information System (MIS).
- Clear Communicator: You communicate with absolute precision and clarity, comfortably guiding cross-functional leaders through shifting compliance deadlines and regulatory updates.
