What is the opportunity?

Join RBC's US CIO Technology Strategy and Architecture team as Director, Enterprise Integration Services for the OneRBC: CNB Integration program
- a transformational, multi-year initiative that will reshape how RBC operates post-acquisition.

Strategic Integration Design & Delivery

Develop end-to-end integration plans and solutions: Define and evolve technology integration for CNB across identity, cloud, network, security, and workplace domains. Synthesize requirements into phased roadmaps: Translate competing business/technical needs into actionable plans, balancing trade-offs (e.g., security vs. usability). Drive alignment with RBC standards: Partner with enterprise teams to ensure CNB solutions adhere to RBC frameworks while fostering innovation. Stakeholder Leadership & Alignment

Act as technical liaison: Bridge CNB leadership, RBC CIO, and enterprise teams to maintain alignment on priorities. Communicate complex decisions to executives: Present integration trade-offs and business cases in clear, non-technical terms. Facilitate cross-functional consensus: Lead design reviews and build trust to resolve conflicts among infrastructure, security, and operations teams. Solution Validation & De-Risking

Lead proof-of-concept (PoC) initiatives: Validate integration assumptions (e.g., identity federation, network testing) before scaling. Define success criteria and baselines:



Establish metrics to ensure solution efficacy. Align with modern SDLC practices: Collaborate with development teams to integrate CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native patterns. M&A; Integration Capability Building

Codify playbooks and reference architectures: Document CNB integration patterns for reuse in future acquisitions. Establish governance models: Create standards for technology discovery, risk mitigation, and deployment across M&A; scenarios. Build and mentor integration talent: Develop RBC's M&A; capability by identifying and grooming future leaders. Operational Readiness & Governance

Ensure sustainable operations: Partner with support teams to define runbooks, escalation processes, and continuous improvement. Maintain regulatory compliance: Align solutions with financial services regulations and audit standards (e.g., cross-border requirements). Monitor and optimize post-deployment: Drive enhancements using user feedback, metrics, and lessons learned. What do you need to succeed?
