Job Description

Posted Friday, June 13, 2025 at 4 : 00 AM

Neighbourly Pharmacy (“Neighbourly”) is Canada’s largest and fastest growing network of independent pharmacies. We are seeking a highly-motivated Analyst (or Senior Analyst, if highly experienced) to join our growing Corporate Development (M&A) team.

Since 2015, Neighbourly has expanded its diversified national footprint to include 300+ locations, reinforcing the Company's reputation as the industry's acquirer of choice. In early 2024, Neighbourly entered a new phase of growth following a take-private transaction led by Persistence Capital Partners (PCP), with Brookfield participating as a strategic financial partner. Since then, Neighbourly has accelerated its national expansion – scaling its acquisition platform and continuing to consolidate across Canada’s pharmacy landscape.

You will directly contribute to Neighbourly’s rapid growth which has regularly been recognized externally, including via the following accolades :

• Ranked #1 fastest growing company in Canada (Globe and Mail, 2020)
• Requalified on the Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies list over the last four years (2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024)
• Named as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for the last five consecutive years (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025)
• Recognized on the 2022 New Innovators list (by Canadian Business magazine in partnership with the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship)
• Recognized on Canadian Business’ 2020 Growth List

Role overview

You will support the Corporate Development function throughout the deal cycle. The role will be focused on supporting the evaluation and execution of acquisitions including aiding with due diligence, valuation / financial modelling, and taking part in integration activities.

Responsibilities may include

• Population of internal financial models
• Ad-hoc analysis of financial and other data
• Analysis of potential opportunities
• Assisting with management of the acquisition pipeline
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other areas of the business including Operations, Finance, HR, Payroll and other key functions, supporting their transaction execution needs
• Aid in the preparation of materials for key stakeholders including Management and / or Board
• Assistance with special projects and other tasks as required

Qualifications and other skills

• Undergraduate education in business administration, accounting, finance or related field
• 1-4 years work experience in a financial analysis and / or transaction-based environment (M&A / transaction advisory, corporate development, private equity, investment banking, etc.)
• Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic deals-based environment
• Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Healthcare or retail experience (or a desire to work in the space) is an asset, but not a requirement

Position requirements

• Comfortable with a hybrid work environment – while the role is presently remote (and expected to remain as such), working from or meeting at our office may be required from time to time in the future at Management’s discretion.
• Travel (to support due diligence) – as the candidate grows within the role, there may be opportunities or business need for the candidate to travel within Canada to support due diligence visits. Ability to do so is needed.
