The Work 

The Senior Manager, Risk Transformation is a senior contributor responsible for supporting the execution of enterprise‑wide risk priorities across transformation, governance, regulatory engagement, and strategy. The role delivers outcomes aligned with Risk & Compliance senior leadership, including execution of priority regulatory and risk change initiatives, enterprise transformation work, and leadership‑directed special initiatives. The role also provides coordination and execution support across Risk and Compliance leadership.

Delivery

  • Execute against targeted delivery workstreams across enterprise risk initiatives, focusing on problem diagnosis, solution structuring, and execution.
  • Produce decision‑ready executive outputs by developing analysis, presentations, briefing materials, and delivery artefacts that synthesize inputs across Risk, Finance, Technology, and the Business.
  • Operate as an execution resource within delivery programs, structuring ambiguous problem sets, managing dependencies, and resolving delivery issues through coordination and influence.
  • Advance senior‑directed priorities with minimal supervision, coordinating inputs and progressing defined delivery activities in support of executive and regulatory engagement.

Transformation Enablement

  • Support enterprise risk transformation initiatives by translating defined priorities into structured execution plans and delivery activities, in partnership with the Senior Director.
  • Enable change management activities across Risk and Compliance by supporting stakeholder engagement, adoption planning, communications, and execution tracking.
  • Advance leadership‑directed transformation objectives within the Risk organization by interfacing with business and functional partners, connecting Risk, Business, and delivery teams.

Governance & Regulatory Coordination

  • Support coordination of regulatory engagement activities, including OSFI meetings, regulatory correspondence, and cross‑functional preparation.
  • Act as an integration point across regulatory, audit, and governance activities, ensuring consistency of messaging, documentation, and positioning.
  • Maintain and evolve governance materials, dashboards, and reporting frameworks to support transparency, accountability, and audit readiness.

Leadership Initiatives

  • Support time‑bound, leadership‑directed initiatives by structuring workplans, coordinating inputs, and progressing defined activities to completion.
  • Provide targeted execution support on priority topics, preparing analysis and materials to support senior Risk leadership decision‑making.

Portfolio Enablement

  • Support portfolio‑level risk initiatives by developing analysis and materials that provide visibility into priorities, dependencies, and delivery status across the Risk transformation portfolio.
  • Maintain and enhance portfolio reporting and dashboards to support senior leadership oversight, prioritization, and informed decision‑making.
  • Provide analytical support on risk and financial dimensions of initiatives, including tracking impacts, trade‑offs, and resource considerations to support effective execution.

Let's Talk About You!

  • 6+ years of progressive experience in consulting, risk management, enterprise enablement, regulatory compliance, or transformation roles within financial services, preferably in a regulated banking environment.
  • Strong understanding of Canadian regulatory frameworks and expectations (e.g., OSFI E‑23, E‑21, CAR Chapters 4 & 5, B‑13, B‑10), with experience supporting regulatory engagement, reviews, or audits.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate effectively across senior leadership levels, including engagement with executives and regulatory stakeholders.
  • Proven capability to synthesize complex information and translate it into clear, concise, executive‑level materials suitable for governance and decision‑making.
  • Sound understanding of risk management disciplines, governance structures, and enterprise change environments, including how these operate in practice.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience authoring executive documentation, governance materials, and briefing content.
  • High degree of organizational and stakeholder acumen, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and drive alignment through influence rather than formal authority.
  • Strong analytical and critical‑thinking skills, with the ability to identify themes, gaps, and risks across concurrent initiatives.
