Job Title: Business Analyst - Private equity Valuations
Location: Toronto, ON- Hybrid (2-3 days onsite/week)
Duration: 6 Months Contract with possible extension
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the process mapping for the end-to-end multiple determination workflow, including inputs, transformations, outputs, and dependencies between stories.
- Liaise between the engineering team and the PE Valuations / Valuation Group stakeholders to resolve open design decisions (e.g., smoothing policy, PitchBook feasibility, Athena timing gap).
- Define and refine acceptance criteria for each story in collaboration with the PE Valuations team, ensuring outputs match deal team model expectations.
- Design the human-in-the-loop review gates: what information is surfaced to analysts, how overrides are captured, and how analyst sign-off flows through the system.
- Manage the Data Schema reference document: field definitions, mandatory vs. optional classifications, source hierarchy rules, and controlled vocabularies (Sector, Subsector, Business Model, Geography).
- Coordinate with Crystal / deal teams on the Deal Team structured data entry mechanism and unstructured input formats.
- Validate prototype outputs against real deal team models for accuracy and auditability.
- Define configurable parameters (tolerance thresholds, recency windows, EBITDA margin thresholds) and document their rationale.
Required Skills:
- Deep domain knowledge of PE valuations, trading comps, precedent transactions, EV bridges, multiple selection.
- Experience writing structured requirements and acceptance criteria for data-intensive financial tools.
- Familiarity with IFRS fair value measurement and audit-readiness requirements.
- Stakeholder management across deal teams, valuation groups, and engineering.
- Data modelling and schema design (JSON output structures, rolling records).
- UAT coordination and test case design for financial accuracy validation.
