Job Description

What is the opportunity?

Are you energized by solving complex business problems and connecting the dots across organizational domains? Join RBC Investor Services' Transformation Office as a strategic partner to senior stakeholders and business leaders. In this role, you'll be the critical link between Project financials, execution, and decision-making - translating data into actionable insights that shape how we invest in our future.

You'll work directly with the Director, Transformation to provide real-time visibility into our strategic project portfolio, enabling leadership to make informed decisions on spend prioritization and resource allocation. This is a high-impact role, where your analysis drives board-level conversations and influences strategic direction.

What will you do?

• Drive Strategic Insights: Synthesize financial data, project status, and market dynamics into compelling analyses that influence executive decision-making and board presentations

• Tell the Portfolio Story: Partner with finance, project teams, and business leaders to build comprehensive reporting on where we spend, why, and the benefits and risks tied to each investment

• Champion Process Improvement: Identify and lead initiatives to strengthen our project financial governance, reporting systems, and decision frameworks

• Build Trust Across Organizations: Act as the objective voice in strategic discussions, assessing projects independently and serving as an escalation point for governance questions

• Thrive in Ambiguity: Navigate competing priorities, emerging challenges, and complex stakeholder landscapes - you'll be the "glue" connecting disparate teams and information sources into cohesive process

• Help promote a culture of integrity by promoting open, honest and transparent dealing in the day-to-day management of projects financials, working with the team to act as an escalation point, as appropriate

What do you need to succeed?

Must-have

• 3+ years' experience in investment banking, business strategy, advisory, corporate accounting, FP&A or similar roles

• Strong proficiency in PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Outlook

• Ability to effectively manage competing timelines and priorities for multiple teams

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to project management, portfolio management, or transformation initiatives

• Experience working in matrix or ambiguous organizational environments

• Familiarity with project governance frameworks or strategic planning methodologies

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.

• Direct Impact: Your analysis directly influences the investment agenda and executive decision-making

• High-Visibility Exposure: Partner regularly with executives and key business stakeholders

• Hands-On Variety: No two weeks are the same—you'll shift seamlessly between deep financial modeling, stakeholder collaboration, process design, and strategic planning

• Growth & Ownership: Lead your own initiatives within a small, high-performing team; chart your career trajectory with strong mentorship from senior leadership

• Best-in-Class Total Rewards: Competitive compensation, performance bonus, flexible benefits, and professional development support

• Progressive Culture: Join a team that values bold thinking, continuous improvement, and making a difference
