Are you passionate about bringing product ideas to life? Do you thrive in highly collaborative environments, working with diverse teams to deliver impactful solutions? Are you eager to develop innovative products that transform how application teams deliver software to their customers? If so, the RBC Enterprise Architecture team is looking for you!

The Application and Integration Architecture team within Enterprise Architecture enables the enterprise to deliver business value faster through well-architected applications and seamless integrations. We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to drive our product strategy across key initiatives: Agentic AI governance and adoption, the Modernization Factory (leveraging AI to turn enterprise architecture data into actionable modernization insights), enterprise architecture strategy, and reuse and rationalization. You will own the roadmap, build community, and ensure alignment with enterprise priorities.

This role requires a technical mindset with development background and the appetite to get hands‑on with vibe coding using agentic development technologies. You must be experienced with Generative AI tools for document creation and prompt engineering, and comfortable collaborating with engineering, security, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable, innovative solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with Canada’s leading bank and contribute to a team that values learning, creativity, problem‑solving, and collaboration.

What will you do?

• Define and maintain the product strategy and roadmap for Application and Integration Architecture, aligning to group priorities and business objectives. Collaborate with stakeholders to identify and prioritize features, capabilities, and use cases.
• Oversee the end‑to‑end lifecycle of application architecture governance and internal agent development. Help define and implement governance frameworks including security, risk management, and compliance.
• Build and lead a community of practitioners across the organization to drive the adoption of modern application patterns, integration standards, and Agentic AI. Partner with Line of Business teams to identify opportunities for modernization and transformation.
• Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of architecture initiatives. Continuously optimize processes, tools, and technologies used to deliver our products.
• Provide product leadership and mentorship to our team of engineers and partners, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
• Author white papers and points of view. Communicate technical concepts and project updates effectively to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Oversee architecture governance practices, including the automation of governance activities using AI, GitOps, Policy as Code, and LeanIX. Ensure technical reference models and patterns are up to date.
• Get hands‑on with agentic development. Demonstrate vibe coding using AI tools from a Product Manager angle and help prototype concepts rapidly.

What do you need to succeed?

Must have:

• 6+ years of Product Management & Agile experience: Proven track record in driving product discussions, market scans, user experience research, software development, and delivery.
• Ability to think critically and solve problems in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments, with a focus on delivering practical solutions.
• Strong knowledge of Generative AI, including familiarity with agentic AI concepts (e.g., MCP, RAG, reasoning, planning, multi‑agent systems).
• Experience with Jira, Agile methodologies, GitHub, and CI/CD practices.
• Familiarity with cloud‑native architectures, microservices, and containerization/orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Some programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, or similar.

Nice‑to‑have:

• Familiarity with tooling and infrastructure for AI agents, such as agent gateways, registries, or control planes.
• Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks and principles.
• Familiarity with application architecture patterns and integration technologies.
• LeanIX APM experience.

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
