About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a distinguished wealth management firm in North York to identify a dedicated Compliance Specialist. This organization is built on a "buy and hold" investment philosophy and values stability, integrity, and long-term client relationships. This is a pivotal time to join the team as they focus on future planning and sustainable growth.

You will play a crucial role in the firm's succession plan, working closely with the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to absorb knowledge and eventually step into senior leadership. Beyond compliance, you will gain exposure to the full realm of the business, acting as a trusted backup for trading activities and ensuring the firm remains a pillar of trust for its clients.

What’s in it for You

• Step into a role with a clear runway for professional growth and succession into the CCO position.

• Work within a culture that values mentorship, offering you direct access to senior leadership.

• Join a stable, high-touch environment that prioritizes deep industry knowledge over high-frequency turnover.

Your Responsibilities

• You’ll lead regulatory oversight. Monitor and interpret changes in OSC regulations, securities legislation, and anti-money laundering (AML) rules to ensure full compliance.

• In this role, you’ll manage risk. Conduct internal compliance audits, risk assessments, and support the maintenance of the firm's compliance framework.

• You’ll support trading operations. Execute stock trades on behalf of the firm, monitor activity for compliance, and resolve trade discrepancies or settlement issues.

• You’ll act as a subject matter expert. Provide guidance and training to staff regarding conflicts of interest, suitability, and regulatory updates.

• You’ll oversee reporting. Manage regulatory filings, coordinate with auditors, and ensure ongoing compliance with Know-Your-Client (KYC) obligations.

Skills and Qualifications

• 3–5 years of progressive experience in regulatory compliance within a CSA-registered company.

• Relevant professional designation (CPA, CFA, or Law Degree) preferred.

• Successful completion of the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) is preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to review and approve trades with a keen eye for detail.

• Strong collaborative skills with a willingness to work fully in-office to support team cohesion.
