Senior Business Analyst

Title Senior Business Analyst, SaaS Delivery Reporting to Director, Business Consulting Seniority level Mid-Senior level Employment type Full-time Job function Consulting, Information Technology, and Project Management About Nesto Nesto is a leading Canadian fintech company founded in Montreal in 2018. Our core mission is to offer a positive, empowering, and transparent property financing experience, simplified from start to finish. We initially started as a digital broker, aiming to make the complex mortgage process more transparent through technology. We quickly evolved to build Canada’s leading online mortgage lending direct‑to‑consumer platform, where our qualified mortgage experts are supported by advanced technology. Since then, we have expanded our offering into a robust “mortgage ecosystem” builder, partnering with large financial institutions across Canada. Our first B2B product debuted in 2022 with IG Wealth Management, concurrent with raising a Series C funding round. A critical milestone occurred last year when nesto acquired CMLS Group. This acquisition formed the Nesto Group (under which nesto, CMLS, and its subsidiary brand Intellifi are housed), resulting in a massive increase in scale, with 1,100 employees and $73 billion in mortgage assets under administration. Why we are hiring We deliver on our mission by empowering our partners to improve and streamline their mortgage lending operations with the nesto Mortgage Cloud. As Canada’s most advanced cloud‑based mortgage technology, our SaaS solution offers a best‑in‑class omnichannel experience. This platform consistently drives volume, boosts productivity, and lowers technology costs.
