Job Description
Responsibilities
The Chief Risk Office Program is unique in that you will get to rotate among every core part of RBC’s Risk groups, working across multiple programs and disciplines that require divergent skills. You’ll get to turn on your quant brain by working side by side with some of the best and brightest in the country when it comes to finance and building models, but you will also need to use your creativity and business sense as you sit with senior leaders in policy, innovation and change management to help them set strategy and governance for Risk practices across the entire bank.
As a baseline, you need to have a strong quantitative skillset, but the ideal candidates can communicate well and work through complex and ambiguous challenges independently. You need to be a self-driven, hyper engaged individual that thrives in ambiguity – you love creating value in your own way without the need for supervision but will grow exponentially within the structured development program we provide.
We purposefully recruit people from all backgrounds with many different types of experiences – past Associate profiles includes those with undergrads in Biology to PhDs in physics; they’ve worked as political researchers, entomologists and dental hygienists – or they haven’t worked at all! Diversity is our strength – more than half our program alumni are women and more than half are visible minorities, joining us from around the globe.
The program is set up to enable you to hit the ground running, with an unparalleled support system: You’ll get dedicated coaching, mentorship, buddies and structured training starting from Day 1, along with curated networking events and exclusive time with senior executives. Your day to day will look different each rotation, but responsibilities may include:
- Engage with partners working on wildly transformative – and varied – projects from across the organization that span the trading floor to our digital Agile labs
- Work with our senior developers and modelers on Risk based financial models related to stress testing and opportunity sizing processes
- Ideating and prototyping new processes, tools and capabilities utilizing dynamic data visualization, segmentation and analytics tools
- Participate in specialized strategic projects as part of our transformation office
- Create/maintain concise and well thought out reports for senior leadership (up to and including RBC board level) and external investor consumption
- Foster an environment of engagement by participating in internal/external RBC or Group Risk Management events
What do you need to succeed?
- You demonstrate mastery of math, computer science, financial engineering, modeling or complex problem solving. You don’t need a math or coding degree, but you should be able to think like a quant or developer. If you know Python, MatLab or SAS, even better.
- You love to create smarter ways of doing and visualizing things and are a natural storyteller. You can take big complex ideas with lots of data and turn it into powerful insights that drive action.
- You’re comfortable leading others without authority and are excited by working in a dynamic business environment where you get to realize your own vision and have ownership in the final output.
- You are a creative AND analytical thinker that is self-driven, loves to ask lots and lots and lots of questions while challenging the status quo.
- You have a passion for finance, banking, and risk management.
- You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills (verbal and written) and can get your point across in a succinct, story driven way.
What’s in it for you?
- This is one of the gold star programs within RBC that catapults your career forward by providing an unprecedented amount of exposure, learning and many chances to make real impact quickly
- Ownership of challenging work and opportunities to be showcased to leadership
- Leaders who are deeply invested in your development through coaching and learning opportunities, with committed weekly, monthly and quarterly touchpoints built in
- Work in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive and high performing team
- A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including base salary, bonus and benefits
