Primary Responsibilities & Attitude

We are currently seeking a Corporate Trust Associate to join our team. The successful candidate will be based in Vancouver or Toronto.

This is a hands-on back-office role within our Corporate Trust division. Reporting to the Director, Corporate Trust, you will process and support the day-to-day transactions behind our trustee, agency and escrow appointments – from DTC and CDS settlement and corporate actions to payments, reconciliations and record keeping. As Odyssey grows its Canadian and U.S. corporate trust business, you will help build and strengthen our depository and operations processes.

You are detail-oriented, highly organized and comfortable in a fast-paced, deadline-driven operations environment. You understand how securities move through DTC, take ownership of a transaction from start to finish, and are confident working independently and as part of a team.

Transaction Processing:

• Process warrant exercises, debenture and note conversions, subscription receipt and escrow releases, redemptions and interest payments accurately and on deadline.
• Prepare, verify and release incoming and outgoing wires with Finance and Payments, ensuring all supporting documents and approvals are in place.
• Review transaction documentation against the governing agreements (indentures, warrant indentures and escrow agreements) before processing.

Reconciliation, Records & Controls:

• Reconcile securities positions and cash balances across internal records, DTC/CDS and bank accounts, and investigate and resolve discrepancies.
• Maintain complete, organized records for each corporate trust appointment.
• Perform regular audits of internal records and systems to ensure data integrity and compliance with internal controls.
• Support the preparation and reconciliation of month-end corporate trust billing.
• Work with Compliance on KYC/AML onboarding and regulatory documentation.

Operations Support:

• Respond to operational inquiries from clients, legal counsel, brokers and securityholders.
• Identify process improvements and help document procedures, controls and checklists.
• Other duties as required.

Skills and Experience:

• 2+ years of back-office operations experience at a trust company, transfer agent, custodian, paying agent, broker-dealer or bank
• Hands‑on DTC operational experience (e.g., DWAC, FAST, ATOP, corporate actions and P&I processing) is strongly preferred
• CDS experience is an asset
• Solid understanding of securities settlement, corporate actions and reconciliations
• Experience processing and verifying wire payments (SWIFT, Fedwire, Lynx) is an asset
• Knowledge of corporate trust, or experience as a securities paralegal, is an asset
• Strong Excel skills and a high level of accuracy with data
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a busy environment with changing priorities
• University degree or diploma (preferred, not required)
• Pro‑active attitude and "how can I help?" perspective

What We Offer:

• Paid Time Off: Vacation, Flex Days, Birthday Day off, Bonus Day
• Health and Dental
