Marketing, Communications & Cross-Border Oversight

• Review and approve marketing materials, website updates, investor presentations, social campaigns, and corporate communications for regulatory accuracy.
• Support compliance alignment between Canadian registration requirements and expectations (e.g., broker‑dealer/RIA collaboration).
• Serve as a trusted advisor to internal teams on securities laws and regulatory interpretation.

Training, Leadership & Internal Enablement

• Supervise and support registered individuals, including registration, proficiency tracking, and ongoing monitoring.
• Deliver firm‑wide compliance, product, and regulatory training.
• Identify emerging regulatory trends, analyze impacts, and communicate actionable recommendations.

Operations & Continuous Improvement

• A key 2026 project is the implementation of a new fund administration platform. You will be the Canadian compliance subject‑matter expert working on reporting, client onboarding, and other workflows to improve efficiency.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to improve workflows, automate compliance processes, and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
• Improve data integrity, reporting accuracy, and documentation standards across all compliance and operational systems.
