Senior Analyst, Strategy & Corporate Development (18-Month Contract)

What it’s like to be a Northbridge Senior Analyst, Strategy & Corporate Development

As a Senior Analyst, Strategy & Corporate Development, you'll play a highly visible role helping drive strategic priorities across the organization. Acting as a trusted partner to senior leaders, you'll coordinate enterprise-wide reporting, gather insights from key stakeholders, conduct market and competitive research, and transform complex information into executive-ready recommendations. This is an exciting opportunity to gain broad exposure across the business while contributing to strategic initiatives for the company. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy solving business challenges, and excel at building relationships across all levels of an organization, we'd love to hear from you.

We want your talent!

If you are great at:

• Turning complex market, industry, and business information into meaningful strategic insights
• Building strong relationships and collaborating across teams to drive initiatives forward
• Managing multiple priorities while maintaining strong attention to detail and sound judgment
• Taking a proactive, analytical approach to identifying opportunities, risks, and emerging trends

You have:

• A degree in Business, Commerce, Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline; a CPA, CFA, CBV designation or progress toward one is considered an asset
• 4+ years experience in strategy, corporate development, finance, business development, consulting, insurance, financial services, or a related field
• Strong research, market intelligence, and analytical capabilities, with experience assessing trends and business opportunities
• Experience developing executive presentations, business cases, and strategic recommendations
• Financial analysis skills, including exposure to business case modelling, investment evaluation, or transaction-related activities

We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:

• Hybrid work! We have a flexible hybrid model that allows you to work from home up to 2 days per week, with added flexibility for when you really need it.
• We offer competitive salaries and support your financial health through our employee share purchase plan, pension plans, RRSP, discounts on staff insurance, and more!
• We help you prioritize your well‑being from day one through flexible health benefits, early leave days, wellness programs, rewards, and recognition programs.
• We are invested in helping you grow in your career through education assistance to complete your CIP, FCIP, CRM or other courses desired, internal mobility, leadership training, and mentoring programs.
• NBFC cares about the community and supports the causes you believe in with donation matching and team volunteer days.

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $80,000 - $100,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back — we’d still love to hear from you.

This is a real opportunity — we’re actively hiring! If the role sounds like a good fit, we encourage you to apply. Beyond base pay, we offer a robust Total Rewards program that includes benefits, wellness support, and other meaningful perks.

We also want to be transparent about our hiring process. While one of our systems includes AI capabilities, over 99% of our screening is done by real people. We believe in thoughtful, human-centered hiring decisions, and are committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
