Your Mandate

Define the "North Star" for Commercial Banking
  • Develop and articulate a clear, compelling transformation narrative that explains why change is required, what the future looks like, and how the bank will get there.
  • Ensure transformation initiatives are explicitly linked to client value, employee experience, and strategic objectives.

Architect the Transformation Agenda
  • Design and maintain an enterprise-aligned transformation roadmap, supported by OKRs and clear success measures.
  • Integrate major initiatives (e.g., customer self-service, lending transformation, operating model evolution) into a cohesive, sequenced plan.
  • Pressure-test feasibility, identify dependencies, and inform leadership decision-making.

Act as a Trusted Advisor to Senior Leaders
  • Serve as a forward-deployed consultant to Commercial Banking leadership, helping define priorities, clarify trade-offs, and align on future capabilities.
  • Prepare executive-ready materials and storytelling for the Commercial Banking Transformation Committee (CBTC) and related forums.
  • Lead and structure CBTC monthly planning, progress, and alignment sessions.

Drive Real Change-Beyond Technology
  • Ensure transformation efforts address operating model implications, including roles, governance, processes, and ways of working.
  • Drive clarity on what must change in how the business operates-not just what systems are implemented.
  • Help leaders move from strategy decks to executable actions.

What You'll Deliver
  • A shared, enterprise-wide transformation vision that resonates with leaders and teams.
  • Strong, sustained alignment across stakeholders on priorities and sequencing.
  • Transformation programs that are credible, executable, and value-driven.
  • Leaders equipped with the narrative, tools, and confidence to lead change.

Profile of an Ideal Candidate
  • Former or current management consultant, or equivalent experience in strategy, transformation, or internal advisory roles.
  • Exceptional structured thinking and storytelling skills-able to simplify complexity without losing substance.
  • Demonstrated experience building and executing large-scale transformation agendas.
  • Comfort operating with senior executives and influencing diverse stakeholders.
  • Pragmatic, action-oriented, and intellectually curious.

Why This Role

  • Hybrid working model with 4 days per week in office, enabling close collaboration.

  • High visibility with senior Commercial Banking leadership.
  • Opportunity to shape the future operating model of a leading North American bank.
  • A rare internal role that mirrors external consulting impact and responsibility.
