This role offers a unique opportunity to gain an enterprise-wide perspective, develop strong business acumen, and build relationships with senior leaders. Working across the organization, you will gain exposure to financial performance, business operations, risk management, governance, and strategic decision-making.

• Plan and conduct risk-based audits across financial, operational, and business functions.
• Evaluate financial and operational controls, identify risks, and recommend improvements.
• Develop an understanding of how business decisions, financial performance, and risk management influence organizational success.
• Gain exposure to key business areas, including financial reporting, underwriting, claims, investments, reinsurance, and technology.
• Assess compliance with internal policies, legislation, and regulatory requirements, including OSFI expectations.
• Work with business leaders to address findings and improve processes.

• Curiosity, initiative, sound judgment, and a desire to continuously learn and grow.

Experience with financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, enterprise risk management, or Audit Committee reporting would be an asset.
