We’re looking for our next Supervisor, Business Integrity. Could It Be You?
The Compliance Supervisor, Business Integrity is the central point of contact for the business for the compliance review and approval of marketing materials across QFG entities (Questrade Inc., QWM, Questbank, Flexiti, and Zolo) prior to publication, replacing the previous multi-approver model. The Supervisor holds, or promptly obtains, CIRO approval in the Supervisor category and acts as the designated Supervisor for advertisements, sales literature, and correspondence under section 3603 of the CIRO IDPC Rules. The role takes complete ownership of the approval process, works independently with minimal supervision, and engages specialized teams (including Legal, Tax, Privacy and other teams) only when required.
The initial allocation is approximately 90% marketing review and approval and 10% consumer protection support, with a focus on regulatory complaints. Over time, the marketing allocation is expected to decrease to approximately 50%, with the balance dedicated to the supervision and support of Compliance Officers and Compliance Analysts.
