About the Role

This critical strategic role focuses on accelerating Post Trade's strategy and objectives by driving the execution of complex, high-impact market modernization initiatives. The Managing Director will provide dedicated delivery leadership to Post-Trade Innovations and CDCC, supporting the delivery of Post Trade products and client-centric solutions.

Responsibilities

• Partner deeply with Product Teams across Post Trade to translate product visions, commercial goals, and market requirements into executable program delivery roadmaps.
• Establish rigorous execution frameworks, milestones, and governance models to ensure Post-Trade Innovations, CDCC, and CDS operate in lockstep.
• Provide dedicated, strategic, and delivery support to Post Trade Innovations, CDCC, and CDS to ensure efficient execution of the Post Trade delivery strategy.
• Provide strategic support for the execution and alignment of major market modernization initiatives, specifically the Canadian Collateral Management Service (CCMS) and the Repo program.
• Serve as the primary liaison to ensure strategic and operational alignment for the Bank of Canada's (BoC) integration into the Post Trade framework, including the implementation of the CCP tri-party repo platform.
• Cultivate and maintain relationships with key stakeholders (e.g., BoC, CIMPA) to gather strategic insights, champion clearing initiatives, and validate new service proposals for Post Trade.
• Ensure optimal, formalized deliveries with key internal stakeholders to efficiently advance CCMS, Repo 2.0, and other core business objectives.
• Enforce key governance, including the formal escalation path and milestone criteria.
• Take direct responsibility for strategic and operational conflict resolution across CDS and CDCC business lines.
• Serve as the primary coordinator for external representation with Clearstream.
• Establish a strict pre-briefing protocol for client engagements to ensure unified messaging regarding value propositions.
• Design and implement a mandatory, structured knowledge-transfer and cross-training program to decentralize business and product expertise.
• Enforce mandatory participation of all dedicated resources in CCMS squad meetings and planning sessions.
• Implement unified resource-tracking dashboards for visibility into team capacity and competing priorities.
• Provide formal performance evaluation input to the functional leaders of dedicated resources.
• Maintain authority to initiate external recruiting processes if internal resource constraints delay critical strategic deliverables.
• Manage hiring, training, and development of team members; set comprehensive objectives for individual and organizational performance and growth, enforcing accountability at all levels.
• Recruit, mentor, and elevate a world-class team of delivery professionals and subject matter experts.
• Instill a culture of extreme ownership, high psychological safety, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with other senior resources to ensure objectives are aligned across all functions and business units, and create a culture of change and continuous improvement.
• Challenge the status quo in a manner which inspires others to welcome change rather than create tension, leading with influence rather than authority.
• Act as a culture carrier who challenges the status quo constructively.
• Inspire cross-functional teams outside of direct reporting lines to embrace change, collaborate transparently, and break down legacy departmental silos.
• Serve as a trusted adviser to provide support and strategic guidance, or take on time-critical tasks with minimal prep time.
• Enhance employee engagement and culture by fostering a positive work environment, promoting employee development, and recognizing and rewarding employee contributions.

• Exceptional track record of managing and transforming complex teams, developing future leaders, and driving high employee engagement scores in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams in a complex environment (solid-line/matrix reporting) where resources must balance functional standards with strict program delivery timelines.
