Permanent Full Time

Manager, ALM Analytics & Platform Development

Asset/Liability Management (ALM) formulates, implements, monitors, and refines strategies for assets and liabilities to achieve financial objectives within defined risk limits and constraints. ALM also supports financial reporting, liability valuation, product pricing, capital reporting, and strategic balance sheet decision-making across the company.

ALM Planning & Development (P&D) is responsible for research, analysis, planning, coordination, project delivery, and enhancements to policies, procedures, data, and analytical tools that support ALM Canada’s priorities. A key focus is the development of a analytical platform to support balance sheet replication, scenario analysis, capital insight, and stronger decision support.

Position Overview:

This role combines financial analysis, analytical problem-solving, and technology-enabled process improvement. Working with P&D, ALM, and partners across Investments, Finance, Risk, and Technology, the successful candidate will help develop and use an ALM analytical platform that improves how we assess assets, liabilities, capital, liquidity, earnings, and risk exposures. The role is ideal for someone with strong financial judgment who is eager to use modern tools—including data platforms, automation, and AI-assisted development tools—to improve analysis and decision-making. Strong synthesis, communication, and collaboration skills are essential.

This is an opportunity to help shape a next-generation ALM analytical capability that supports stronger transparency, better balance sheet insight, and better decision-making. The role offers meaningful exposure to investments, capital, risk, and strategic balance sheet issues, while helping modernize analysis through governed data, analytical tools, and AI-enabled workflows.

What you will do:

Platform Development, Analytics and Decision Support

• Develop, enhance, and operate analytical tools, models, and processes that support ALM activities and balance sheet decisions.
• Create and improve data sets, data views, and dashboards for analysis of assets, liabilities, capital, liquidity, earnings, and risk exposures.
• Support the design, testing, and refinement of analytical capabilities used to replicate key balance sheet measures, perform scenario and sensitivity analysis, and assess capital efficiency, investment decisions, and risk trade-offs.
• Direct coding may be part of the role, but equally important is the ability to frame business problems and use modern tools—including AI-assisted development tools—to prototype and improve solutions.

Project, Process and Stakeholder Support

• Manage or support initiatives related to ALM transformation, analytical platform development, reporting enhancements, and process improvement.
• Undertake research, data collection, and analysis on investments, balance sheet strategy, risk management, financial reporting, and regulatory capital requirements.
• Work with ALM team members and other stakeholders to improve analytical processes, reports, and decision support while addressing business objectives, governance requirements, operational considerations, and risk constraints.
• Help transition spreadsheet-based and other end-user-computing processes into more controlled, transparent, and sustainable analytical workflows.

What you will bring:

• Minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience.
• University degree in Finance, Actuarial Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a similar discipline, or an equivalent level of knowledge gained through technical training and relevant work experience.
• Strong grasp of financial concepts relevant to investments, ALM, valuation, capital, and/or risk management, together with insight into how technology and artificial intelligence can support business objectives.
• Positive attitude, strong learning mindset, motivation, strong verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders.
• The ideal candidate brings strong financial analysis capability together with comfort working with data, models, and analytical tools. Experience in both of the following areas is valuable:

• Technology / Data / Analytics – Experience working with data, analytical tools, databases, and software applications (for example Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, or similar tools). Deep coding experience is helpful but not required if the candidate has strong analytical capability and a demonstrated willingness to learn and use modern tooling, including AI-assisted development environments such as coding copilots.
• Financial Analysis – Knowledge of investments, accounting, balance sheet management, capital, and risk management.

• Candidates with particular strength in financial analysis and a demonstrated willingness to learn technology-enabled ways of working (including AI-assisted tools) are encouraged to apply, even if they do not already have deep coding experience.
• A professional designation and/or relevant certifications (for example FCIA, CFA, FRM, CAP, Open CDS, or similar) are desirable but not essential.
