About The Position

This role is for a Financial Planning and Modeling Manager at BC Transit, located in Victoria, BC. The position is full-time regular, with one day per week in the office. The role focuses on long-term financial scenario modeling, using complex assumptions to provide clear, defensible insights for senior decision-makers. The successful candidate will build and maintain BC Transit’s long-range financial models, assess operating and capital funding requirements, and design Power BI dashboards and analytical outputs to translate technical modeling results into decision-ready insights. This includes KPI forecasting and scenario-based reporting. The role also involves analyzing the financial impacts of major strategic initiatives such as the Low Carbon Fleet Program, long-term capital planning, Transit Future plans, and CleanBC targets. The position requires comfort with challenging assumptions, running sensitivity analyses, and structuring robust models. This is a modeling, analysis, and decision-support role, not a reporting-only function. The role is not responsible for routine transactional accounting or operational finance tasks, maintaining static forecasts, or acting solely as a report compiler without analytical ownership.

Requirements

Advanced financial modelling: Proven experience building and maintaining multi-year scenario models in a medium-to-large organization
Power BI expertise: Strong ability to design dashboards, data models, and visual analytics that translate complex financial outputs into clear insights
Strategic thinking: Ability to assess risk, test assumptions, and evaluate long-term implications of policy, economic, and operational drivers
Data fluency: Comfort working with large datasets, financial systems, and structured assumptions
Professional credibility: Confident communicator who can explain complex financial scenarios to executives and non-financial stakeholders
CPA or CFA designation and a post-secondary degree in Finance, Commerce, or a related field

Responsibilities

Be the organization’s subject matter expert in long-term financial scenario modelling.
Lead the development and ongoing maintenance of BC Transit’s long-range financial models, assessing operating and capital funding requirements under a wide range of financial, policy, and service assumptions.
Design and evolve Power BI dashboards and analytical outputs that translate highly technical modelling results into intuitive, decision-ready insights.
Analyze the financial impacts of major strategic initiatives — including the Low Carbon Fleet Program, long-term capital planning, Transit Future plans, and CleanBC targets — and clearly articulate what different futures mean for funding partners, affordability, and financial sustainability.
Challenge assumptions, run sensitivity analyses, and structure models so they remain robust as inputs, policy directions, and economic conditions change.
