You will lead a portfolio of squads and partner deeply with Technology, Fraud Management, Cyber Security, Legal & Privacy, and every line of business that touches a login screen. You will also take on change management plans, to ensure that changes that you’re making are well supported across the organization.

Own the multi-year product roadmap for credential management, device intelligence, behavioural biometrics, and trusted devices for RBC’s digital channels. Lead and coach multiple agile squads (Product Owners, and their partnered engineering and design teams), setting outcome-based OKRs and holding the bar on delivery quality and pace

Drive measurable outcomes across a deliberately competing set of metrics.

Partner with Fraud Management and Cyber Security to close the loop between detection, authentication, and response, and to make sure our controls hold up against evolving account take overs, social engineering and security vulnerabilities.

Manage business relationships with suppliers enabling your products, including contract negotiations, and supplier performance monitoring.

Represent the capability to executives, risk, digital partners; translate deep technical control detail into a clear business narrative. Contribute to the broader Digital Trust strategy and influence enterprise standards for identity assurance and authentication

• Hands-on understanding of authentication and identity technologies (MFA, passkeys/FIDO2, OAuth 2.0/OIDC, session and credential lifecycle management, device fingerprinting, behavioural biometrics)
• Strong analytical rigour: you set metrics, instrument them, and change direction when the data says to
• Executive-grade communication and influence; comfort presenting to and being challenged by senior leaders
• Track record of delivering in a large, regulated, matrixed organization without letting the matrix slow you down
