Accountabilities: Own, develop, and continuously improve counterparty credit risk assessment procedures, ensuring consistency, scalability, transparency, and auditability. Conduct comprehensive credit assessments for new and existing counterparties, analyzing financial statements, regulatory filings, creditworthiness, and other relevant risk factors. Prepare detailed written credit recommendations and propose appropriate credit limits based on financial analysis and the organization's risk appetite. Monitor counterparty exposures, concentration limits, and stress-testing results through internal platforms, ensuring all exposures remain within approved thresholds. Identify emerging credit risks, investigate potential vulnerabilities, and proactively recommend appropriate mitigation measures. Contribute to the development, documentation, maintenance, and enforcement of counterparty credit risk policies, credit limit frameworks, and operational procedures. Work closely with Treasury, Finance, Market Risk, Legal, Product, and Securities Lending teams to support effective risk oversight and decision-making. Collaborate with front-office and risk development teams to strengthen credit risk processes and support evolving business requirements. Exercise sound judgment when working with incomplete information, clearly documenting assumptions, potential risks, and recommendations. Build and maintain effective relationships with internal stakeholders and external counterparties while promoting strong risk management practices. Requirements: Between 1 and 3+ years of experience in counterparty credit risk, credit analysis, or a related credit risk management role, preferably within an investment dealer, brokerage, or financial services environment.

Ability to interpret and analyze regulatory financial filings, particularly Form 1 and FOCUS reports. Strong financial analysis and credit assessment skills, with the ability to evaluate financial statements, identify credit vulnerabilities, and formulate well-supported recommendations. Understanding of counterparty exposure, concentration risk, credit limits, stress testing, and risk monitoring frameworks. Progress toward a professional designation such as CFA, CPA, or FRM is considered an advantage. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail, with a proactive approach to identifying root causes and emerging risks. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly the ability to translate complex financial and credit risk concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for different audiences. Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. Self-motivated and comfortable taking ownership of projects, working independently, and developing solutions in an evolving business environment. Collaborative mindset and ability to build effective relationships across diverse teams and with external stakeholders. Curiosity, adaptability, and a strong commitment to continuous learning and professional development. Benefits: Competitive annual base salary ranging from CAD 69,600 to CAD 87,000, depending on skills, experience, and role level. Equity compensation for permanent employees, offering an opportunity to participate in long-term company growth.
