Job Description

Mandate Overview:

• The client is looking for a product owner to carry a cross-functional compliance capability, decoupled from business journeys, at the heart of a three-pillar program. The engagement opens with a feasibility phase: target state definition, market solicitation, vendor comparison and recommendation, before implementing the selected solution. The person represents several business lines and Compliance, and works with the second and third lines of defence, Legal, Risk and Security. The regulatory component is demanding: KYC for corporate and institutional clients, ultimate beneficial owners, sanctions, periodic reviews, and Canadian frameworks (AML/ATF, NI 93-101, NI 31-103, CIRO rules). The role requires 7 years of experience, including 3 years in compliance, KYC/KYB or CLM at a financial institution, which narrows the talent pool.
  
• Candidate sought: a Product Owner or product manager who has already owned a KYC/CLM compliance product at a financial institution and is comfortable presenting to a steering committee. Ideally, the person has led an RFP or a KYC platform selection and knows corporate and institutional clients, beyond retail KYC.
  

Requirements

Required:

• KYC requirements for corporate and institutional clients (identification, ultimate beneficial owners, tax obligations, sanctions, periodic and event-driven reviews)
  
• Applicable regulatory frameworks (AML/ATF, LEF, NI 93-101 and 31-103, CIRO rules)
  
• Leading a feasibility analysis, market solicitation (RFI/RFP) or technology solution selection, including comparison of options, vendors and costs
  
• Priority management and coordination of requests from multiple stakeholders, with trade-offs between value, risk, capacity, vendors and timelines
  
• Hands-on experience with Jira, Confluence and product backlog management
  
• Client communications and presentations at various levels, including executive committees
  
• French, spoken and written
  
• Advanced English
  

Asset:

• Implementation of a CLM, KYC/KYB or compliance orchestration solution at a financial institution
  
• Capital Markets knowledge (derivatives, fixed income, equities)
  
• Integration of compliance into account opening journeys
  
• Master data, data quality and governance
  
• Benefits management and KPIs for a cross-functional product
  
• Product management or compliance certification (CSPO, ACAMS)
  

Profiles to Exclude:

• Operational KYC or AML profile (file processing, compliance reviews) with no demonstrated ownership of a product vision, roadmap or backlog.
  
• Product Owner whose products on the resume fall outside compliance, KYC/KYB or CLM, without the 3 years demonstrated in these domains.
  
• KYC experience limited to retail clients, with no exposure to corporate or institutional clients.
  
• Business analyst or Scrum Master profile presented as a PO, with no backlog prioritization or priority arbitration demonstrated on the resume.
  
• No feasibility analysis, market solicitation or solution selection on the resume.
