We are looking for a Business Systems Analyst who is equally comfortable in a room with transfer agency operations leaders and in a working session with engineers and data architects.

This is a hands-on, technically solid role. Beyond documenting requirements, you will query the data yourself, read and shape interface specifications, trace a transaction from order capture through to settlement and the unitholder register, and challenge solutions that will not hold up operationally. You will be a trusted partner to the business and a credible voice with technology.

- Distribution direct, advisor, dealer, institutional, and intermediary channels, including nominee and omnibus arrangements and dealer-service models.
- Product data fund, series, fee, eligibility, and pricing data that feeds regulatory documents, dealer platforms, websites, and reporting.
- Investor and account servicing onboarding, account opening and maintenance, account hierarchies,



authorized parties, investor records, and correspondence.
- Transaction lifecycle purchases, redemptions, switches, transfers, pre-authorized contributions, systematic withdrawals, distribution reinvestment, reversals, and fee-related transactions, from order capture and validation through pricing, settlement, and confirmation.
- Unitholder register holdings, transaction history, book value and cost information, statements, confirmations, and tax reporting.
- Payments and settlement dealer settlement, bank and payment interfaces, cash movements, and exception handling.
- Dealer compensation trailing commissions, service fees, rebates, and related data flows.
- Reconciliation and controls reconciliations across the transfer agent, fund accountant, custodian, bank, and dealers; exception queues; approvals; audit trails; and segregation of duties.
- Regulatory and compliance processes KYC, AML, sanctions screening, FATCA and CRS tax-residency reporting, privacy, and complaint handling.
- Fundserv order, settlement, and account messaging, and dealer/manufacturer interactions experience.
- Registered plans, including RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, RESP, FHSA, and locked-in plans, and their contribution, withdrawal, and tax-reporting rules.
- Canadian tax reporting such as T3, T5008, NR4, and Québec RL slips.




- Regulatory frameworks relevant to fund manufacturers and dealers, including NI 81-102, NI 31-103, Client Focused Reforms, CIRO requirements, and FINTRAC obligations.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We’d love to work with you if you have:

- 5+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, Technical Business Analyst, or similar role in asset management, fund administration, wealth management, or investment operations.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with transfer agency processes and at least one transfer agency or investor-recordkeeping platform.
- Solid understanding of the asset management manufacturing lifecycle and the interaction between transfer agency, fund accounting, custody, and distribution.
