Join a Challenger

We've been at this since 1970, challenging the conventions of traditional banking with smarter, faster, and more connected financial experiences.

What's kept us moving? The people behind it all: challengers who ask better questions, push back on old assumptions, and look for a better way forward.

If you're driven to help reshape how banking works for Canadians and the businesses that power our economy, this could be your next big opportunity.

The Work

The Director, Change Enablement advances EQ Bank’s enterprise Change Enablement practice, a standing capability within People & Talent accountable for readiness, adoption and sustained behaviour change across the Bank’s concurrent transformation agenda. The role closes the gap between funded transformation delivery and the employee readiness required to realize value across enterprise AI, PC Financial integration and convergence, and the EQB 2.0 operating model. Reporting to the Vice President, Talent, Transformation & Design, the incumbent owns the enterprise change method, demand prioritization, adoption readiness and executive-level visibility of change saturation. The mandate is to identify, plan, sequence and land change with the business, making adoption an engineered outcome rather than a communications task applied at go-live.

Provide executive-level reporting on change saturation, readiness at go-live, adoption velocity, friction after go-live and time to value.
