WHO WE ARE
When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a non-profit with a mission to support better health for all Canadians.
We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re the only non-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and care together, all in one place.
We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that takes care of the mind and body.
Our mission is to create better health for all Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees.
THE ROLE IN A NUTSHELL
Base Salary: CAD $94,406.00 - 142,069.00
The Manager, Mergers & Acquisitions will be responsible for leading and supporting end-to-end execution of acquisition opportunities in support of Greenshield's inorganic growth strategy. This includes supporting origination and screening targets, conducting financial analysis and valuation, coordinating due diligence across cross-functional teams, and supporting deal structuring and close. The Manager will collaborate closely with lines of business across Insurance, Administration, and Health to assess strategic fit, build investment business cases, and advance transactions from initial evaluation through to execution.
This role requires an individual with the analytical depth to build complex financial models independently, the commercial judgment to assess businesses critically, and the drive to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-moving environment. They will need to think outside the box, solve complex problems, and be willing to roll up their sleeves across all aspects of a transaction.
The Manager will be a member of Greenshield's Strategy and Acquisitions team and will play a central role in supporting the delivery of Greenshield's strategic plan through inorganic growth. The role reports directly to the M&A Lead and may also directly supervise junior team members, delegating workstreams while remaining accountable for the quality and integrity of deal execution.

-
Review and manage NDAs with targets.
FINANCIAL MODELLING & VALUATION
-
Build and own complex, dynamic financial models including DCF, LBO, accretion/dilution, merger consequences, and scenario and sensitivity analyses – independently, from scratch.
Develop and stress-test valuation ranges using multiple methodologies: comparable companies, precedent transactions, and sum-of-the-parts.
Translate model outputs into concise, executive-ready investment recommendations with clear assumptions and identified risks.
-
Partner with lines of business across Insurance, Administration, and Health to identify, develop, and quantify synergies and value creation opportunities, and incorporate these into deal models and investment cases.
DUE DILIGENCE & DEAL EXECUTION
-
Lead and coordinate due diligence workstreams across financial, commercial, and operational.
Coordinate third-party advisors (e.g. legal, financial, tax, consulting) and internal stakeholders across Finance, Legal, and Operations.
Synthesize diligence findings into clear status updates and issues logs, support transaction structuring decisions, and ensure key risks and material findings are reflected in transaction documents.
-
Prepare and maintain deal documentation including deal summaries, management presentations, IC memos, and board materials.
STRATEGIC & MARKET ANALYSIS
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
-
5+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or M&A advisory (buy-side or sell-side).
Demonstrated ability to independently build complex, multi-scenario financial models.
Strong command of valuation methodologies and the ability to contextualize outputs within a strategic investment narrative.
Experience managing multiple workstreams simultaneously under tight timelines.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Experience and comfort presenting analysis and findings to senior stakeholders.

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Economics, or a related discipline. MBA considered an asset.
-
Professional designations such as CFA or CPA.
Professional fluency in French.
Prior exposure to health benefits, insurance, digital health, specialty pharmacy, or adjacent regulated industries.
-
Prior experience reviewing or mentoring junior analysts/associates; this role is expected to remain majority hands-on in execution, not primarily managerial.
