JOB DESCRIPTION

About the Program

The Risk Management Associate Rotational Program is a comprehensive, 24-month initiative where participants complete four distinct 6-month rotations. These rotations are designed to provide hands‑on experience in both Financial and Non-Financial Risk Management areas, including but not limited to credit, market, liquidity, operational, model, ESG, technology and data, regulatory, and product risk. The program aims to develop leaders who can apply risk knowledge across a broad spectrum of business functions at TD.

If you are inquisitive, enjoy driving change, and want to make a meaningful difference, we invite you to join our rotational program.

Throughout the program, you will rotate within the Risk Management division in Canada, with some opportunities to support global activities. Each rotation lasts six months and covers the following areas:

• Market Risk: In Market Risk, we focus on accurately identifying current and emerging market risks, providing transparency on both trading and non‑trading risk results. Our global team independently oversees counterparty credit, liquidity risk, and market risks across the enterprise. We ensure all outcomes align with the Bank's risk appetite, utilizing business insights and market expertise.
• Enterprise Market Risk Control (EMRC): Serving as a second line of defense, EMRC provides independent oversight and challenges the Bank's trading, non‑trading, and liquidity risks. EMRC ensures that all significant market and liquidity risks are properly governed, understood, analyzed, and measured. We support new business initiatives by closely collaborating with TD Securities, Treasury, and Balance Sheet Management to ensure TD remains within its risk appetite. EMRC consists of teams focused on Non‑Trading Market Risk, Liquidity Risk, and Credit Risk.
• Credit Risk: Credit risk refers to the potential loss if a borrower or counterparty fails to fulfill agreed payment obligations. The Credit Risk team sets risk policies for all products and services involving credit risk and establishes guidelines to monitor and limit exposures by country, industry, and group within portfolios.
• Operational Risk (including ESG, Cyber, and Innovation): Operational Risk works alongside our business partners to ensure that risks arising from people and technological processes, including those due to change, are effectively identified, monitored, and managed.
• Model Development (MD) & Validation: The Model Development team is responsible for creating risk and capital models related to Trading Market Risk, Credit Risk, and Operational Risk across the bank. These models include, but are not limited to, Advanced Measurement Approach for Operational Risk, Credit Risk Rating models, Credit Risk parameters (PD, LGD, UGD), Economic Capital models, IFRS9 models for Credit Risk, Value at Risk (VaR), and Counterparty Credit Risk models.
• Regulatory Risk: This team provides advice and guidance on regulatory communications and emerging developments, as well as new initiatives that have a regulatory impact. Responsibilities include monitoring regulatory trends, identifying common themes across TD's footprint, communicating these insights to internal stakeholders, tracking remediation efforts, and ensuring quality responses to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). The team also identifies threats to TD's relationships with key Canadian and non‑U.S. regulators and ensures effective strategies are in place.
• Strategic & Enterprise Risk: The Enterprise Risk team evaluates TD's risk appetite, ensuring the Bank takes risks that align with its business strategy, avoids significant single loss events, and protects the TD brand.
• Strategy, Business Management & Governance: This central operational and governance function supports risk management groups by guiding the development and execution of strategies, standards, and protocols to achieve operational effectiveness and efficiency.

Rotation opportunities are closely aligned with our business strategies, ensuring that participants work on the most important priorities.
