What you’ll do here :

• Conduct comprehensive financial health checks of suppliers, which may include ratio analyses, cash flow assessments, leverage and liquidity trends, and early‑warning indicators.
• Build and maintain standardized financial assessment models and scorecards; synthesize findings into clear risk ratings and recommendations.
• Assess concentration risk across vendors, subcontractors, and geographies; develop methodologies to aggregate exposures and identify single points of failure.
• Integrate external data (credit ratings, market signals, adverse media) and internal performance metrics to create a holistic risk view.
• Monitor changes in vendor financials and concentration profiles; produce periodic dashboards and present insights to stakeholders.
• Collaborate with the Procurement Sourcing and Governance teams to ensure that financial health and concentration risk considerations are integrated into the vendor selection process before proceeding with onboarding or renewal decisions. This may involve interacting with the senior management of different departments.
• Contribute to policy, control, and documentation improvements for third‑party risk management.
• Undertake relevant projects or ad‑hoc requests as needed to support departmental goals and objectives.

What you bring to the table :

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field; MBA or relevant master’s is a plus.
• Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation (or equivalent) preferred; strong grounding in financial reporting and analysis.
• 3‑5+ years of experience in financial analysis, credit risk, vendor / third‑party risk management, audit, or corporate finance.
• Ability to translate complex analysis into concise, actionable insights for non‑finance stakeholders.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and presentation skills; comfort working cross‑functionally.
• High attention to detail, analytical rigor, and a proactive, ownership mindset.
• Advanced Excel skills required, experience with data visualization tools (Power BI / Tableau) and statistical analysis preferred.
• Experience quantifying concentration risk, including subcontractor mapping and geographic exposure analysis is a plus.
• Familiarity with risk frameworks (TPRM, NIST, ISO 31000) and procurement processes is an advantage.
• Experience with credit bureaus / data providers (e.g., S&P, Moody’s, Dun & Bradstreet) and adverse media screening tools is an asset.
• Proficiency in English required; proficiency in French considered a strong asset.
