Job Summary

Job Description

What is the opportunity?

The Business Transformation team supports Capital Markets by working closely with business partners across the Front Office as well as functional teams to help enable change by executing business-driven transformation. This role is strategically important in driving business transformation and ensuring regulatory compliance, ultimately contributing to the long-term success of RBC Capital Markets.

We are looking for an eager and high-performing individual to work on regulatory and strategic projects within our group, with a focus on delivering impactful business outcomes.

Please note, this is hybrid role. The expectation is that the incumbent will work a minimum of 3 days in the office.

Please note that a Vice President role in Capital Markets is not equivalent to a Vice President role within the broader RBC Enterprise. Capital Markets VPs tactically deliver on project-specific execution, whereas Enterprise VPs take on broader leadership responsibilities, strategic oversight, and delegation of authority within their specific area of responsibility.

What will you do?

• Develop key relationships within the Business, Functions, and across RBC segments, to execute on project deliverables
• Lead working groups with cross functional teams to deliver results, triage issues, and drive progress
• Contribute to the preparation of senior management meeting materials, such as Steering Committee and Executive Committee meetings, as well as other regularly scheduled program forums
• Support Program status reporting across the Program and at the Executive level to ensure Program goals and objectives are executed and clearly, consistently communicated across all teams
• Ensure that project plans are maintained and that tasks are on track to meet project milestones
• Facilitate issue resolution/escalation, manage interdependencies and ensure the accurate maintenance of the RAID log
• Work with third party suppliers/consultants as required to deliver on Program objectives
• Provide leadership and direction to junior staff, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation

What do you need to succeed?

Must Have

• Undergraduate university degree in Business, Finance or a related field required
• MBA or relevant professional designation strongly preferred
• 7+ years of program management experience with a demonstrated track record of leadership, problem-solving, and relationship management
• Experience with large regulatory programs
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
• Strong knowledge of Capital Markets products/services and processes
• Ability to collaborate, partner with senior business stakeholders, project managers and team members
• Advanced proficiency with Excel (pivot tables, lookups), PowerPoint (strong storyboarding of executive presentations), and Visio (process flows)
• Comfort with ambiguity
• A passion for learning

Nice to Have

• Project Management Professional (PMP) Certified

What’s in it for you?

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.

• Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities
• Variety of assignments over the course of your placement
• Ability to make a difference and lasting impact
• Work in a dynamic, collaborative, and high-performing team
• Opportunities to do challenging work
