Senior Manager, Compliance Program and Assurance (Second Line of Defence)

$130k - $170k per year
Full-time

Paramount Commerce

Description

We are Paramount Commerce, a leading fintech company focused on simplifying payments in Canada. Since the early 2000s, we have redefined online purchasing by introducing a way to pay directly from a bank account, bypassing credit cards or e-wallets. Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of security and risk management that support seamless payments and rich data.

As we strengthen our position in Canada, we are strategically positioning ourselves for global expansion. To achieve our goals, we are seeking talented professionals who can push the boundaries of innovation, contributing to our growth across Canada and worldwide. Join us at Paramount Commerce, where we not only follow fintech trends but shape them

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. Operating in a fast-paced fintech environment, you are hands-on, thrive under pressure, possess an insatiable curiosity, and want the immense reward of learning and working at the forefront of the digital payments industry. 

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.

Why Paramount Commerce?

  • Canadian Company with over 22 years of history
  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Generous Vacation + Summer Fridays
  • Health & Dental Benefits + Wellness Spending Account
  • Retirement savings matching plan
  • Hybrid work environment – Thursdays in Toronto office
  • Quality Hardware provided to do your work
  • Parental leave top up program
  • Birthday Day Off
  • Quarterly Socials & Volunteer Days

The salary range for this full-time position is: $130,000 - $170,000 CAD. 

Final compensation will be dependent on experience, skillset, and role related qualifications, and will include benefits and bonus as per company policy. Please note that base salary ranges may differ based on location and local currency.
