Job description

At ATB, we exist to make it possible for our clients, team members and communities. Our purpose is more than aspirational. It's a real commitment we live every day through our values (what we call the ATB ID).

Life at ATB is about more than work. In fact, we’re consistently recognized as one of Canada's top employers thanks to our high-care, high-performance culture, upheld by the three commitments we make to our team members:

Impact in action: No matter where you are in the organization, you're empowered to make an impact in the lives of our clients and communities.

Thrive together: We want you—the unique, authentic you—to feel safe and celebrated at work. We're on a continuous journey to build the most flexible and inclusive programs.

Ready for tomorrow: We want to enable your success through interesting and challenging work, performance enablement, and learning and development.

About the Role

The Strategy team is centralized within the Sustainability, Relationship and Impact (SRI) division, and is mandated to lead strategy, including annual and long-term planning and performance measurement and operations (monthly/quarterly reporting, finance, talent processes), while supporting culture across SRI's three teams: Sustainability & Impact, Third Party Relationships, and Legal.

As a Strategy Analyst, you will report to the Strategy Director, SRI Strategy, and play a key role in proactively supporting the critical work of the strategic and operational business cycle. This includes leading and contributing to activities such as strategic planning processes, performance measurement, data-storytelling, and developing presentations for our Leadership and Executive team. Alongside, you will also support signature culture and communication moments that connect strategy to team‑level clarity, alongside a set of cross‑SRI special projects. You are a problem solver and innovative thinker with the ability to take executive‑level direction often broad or still taking shape and translate it into clear frameworks and structured plans that others can execute against. You're comfortable contributing at a high professional level in those conversations, and equally comfortable carrying an idea from early thinking through to implementation.

This is a 6 month term opportunity.
