What You Will Do
The Banking and Payments Department (BAP) oversees the management of the federal government’s retail and wholesale debt programs, services for the redemption of unclaimed properties, research and analysis relevant to payment, clearing and settlement services (PCSS) and the management of the Bank of Canada’s pension fund. BAP also manages the financial risk associated with funds-management activities and provides back-office payment and settlement services at its Ottawa and Calgary locations. BAP is currently seeking a Senior Manager, Payment and Settlement Operations for its Calgary site.
You are part of a management team overseeing the work of approximately 35 Banking and Payments Specialists. The team provides critical banking services to financial institutions and designated payment, clearing and settlement systems.

The banking services delivered by the team generally comprise the provision of Canadian-dollar overnight deposit accounts, securities accounts and safekeeping services for Canadian-dollar securities, Canadian-dollar payments, settlement services to payment clearing and settlement systems, and fully collateralized loans to specific clients. Additional banking services provided by the team include those related to the federal government’s foreign reserves and International Monetary Fund obligations.
You ensure that high standards for continuity, reliability and integrity of operations are achieved daily while respecting various deadlines throughout the day. The work of the unit is based on strong processes and procedures; suboptimal performance could have serious implications for the reputation of the Bank, as well as financial consequences for the Bank or other participants in the securities and payment systems.
Operations are time-critical and are carried out Monday through Friday during a 21-hour workday beginning in the overnight hours and ending at 20:00 (EST).

You also share responsibility for coverage of end-of-day settlement operations and on-call support of overnight banking operations on a rotation basis. Part of your team members work night shifts.
Finally, you may represent the Bank and PSO on internal and external committees of the payment, clearing and settlement system and contribute to analysis of banking systems and procedures, risks and opportunities.
The candidate will work a complement of both onsite (Calgary Office) and from home. Please note that the ability to work onsite is a requirement due to the position being part of the Bank’s Critical Operations.
