• Prepare and deliver training sessions on estate planning to investment advisors.
• Identify and develop business opportunities for all services and products offered by National Bank Financial.
• Stay at the forefront of new developments in your field to determine the directions to follow to continue evolving processes, systems, and methods in a perspective of continuous improvement.
• Understand business issues and, above all, participate in the development of practical solutions.

Prerequisites

• Member of the Barreau or of the Chambre des notaires du Québec
• 10 years of relevant experience
• Relevant designation (e.g., CPA or Tax Specialist) is considered an asset
• In-depth knowledge of estate planning concepts, including succession law, trusts, and administration of the property of others
