What you will do

• Prepare Canadian brokerage operations for launch, including account opening and maintenance, trade processing, and custody of client cash and securities.
• Define operating responsibilities between partner brokers and ACCC across accounts, trades, and client assets.
• Own trade lifecycle operations, including clearing, CDS/CDSX settlement, settlement fails, corporate actions, cash, and securities movements.
• Design registered-account and tax operations for TFSA, RRSP, RESP, tax lots, cost basis, withholding, and required reporting.
• Build books and records, reconciliations, exception management, operational controls, runbooks, escalation paths, vendor interfaces, and BCP/DR playbooks.
• Translate Canadian dealer, clearing, custody, and operational-risk requirements into SOPs, RACI structures, controls, exception paths, and specifications for Product and Engineering; improve high-volume workflows through straight-through processing, rules, automation, and AI-assisted operations with appropriate human oversight.

Requirements

• 10+ years of hands-on Canadian brokerage operations experience at a CIRO dealer, carrying broker, custodian, clearing firm, or Canadian brokerage operations function.
• Deep experience with clearing and settlement, custody, CDS/CDSX or equivalent, settlement fails, corporate actions, tax, cash and securities operations, account servicing, and introducing/carrying arrangements.
• Demonstrated depth in at least two of: clearing and settlement; custody and asset servicing; books and records and reconciliations; registered accounts and tax.
• Regulatory knowledge covering CIRO, provincial securities requirements, and CSA context, with the ability to design operable controls; this role is not the UDP or compliance sign-off owner.
• Experience redesigning and delivering process and tooling changes that remained in operation, rather than only running business-as-usual processes.
• Practical experience with workflow automation, rules engines, RPA, or AI-assisted operations, including judgment about where AI is appropriate and where controls must remain deterministic.
• Exceptional written communication skills for producing SOPs, RACI documents, decision logs, and requirements that cross-functional teams can implement.

• Experience with API-first, broker-as-a-service, or correspondent platforms.
• Experience operating across US and Canadian entities.
• Deep CDS/CDSX or Canadian market-infrastructure experience.
• Experience establishing registered-account or Canadian tax operations covering TFSA, RRSP, RESP, tax lots, withholding, and reporting.
• AI-native operations experience using tools such as Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or custom agents for SOP drafting, exception synthesis, and prototyping.
