Job Description

The RBC Wealth Management Generalist Program

During this 2-year rotational program, you will gain an understanding of the day-to-day operations of several wealth management businesses and a high-level understanding of the entire RBC Wealth Management enterprise. As a Generalist, you will complete three 8-month rotations where you will collaborate with leaders on complex assignments while developing your skills through curated training. With participants based in both Canada and the US, plus international rotation opportunities (UK, APAC), you'll build a global, enterprise-wide leadership mindset-critical for RBC's future leaders.

What will you do?

You'll embark on three strategically designed 8-month rotations across RBC Wealth Management's diverse lines of business. Recent rotations our graduates have undertaken include:
  • Investment Products Advisory Group (GAM) - driving investment product strategy and market positioning
  • PH&N Investment Counsel - advancing sophisticated investment solutions for institutional and private clients
  • Investment Solutions and Products in Hong Kong - shaping digital innovation and client experience across APAC markets

You'll contribute to priority business initiatives requiring strategic thinking and analytical rigor, supported by one-to-one mentorship with senior leaders, curated professional development and training, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and connections across RBC.

What do you need to succeed?

We're not hiring senior leaders today. We're identifying the people who will become them-and accelerating that journey.
  • 3-7 years of professional experience with early evidence of leadership in practice-not just credentials.
  • Master's graduate (MBA strongly preferred; select specializations considered) graduating before program starts in June/July 2027.
  • Strategic thinker drawn to organizational leadership, not just technical specialization.
  • Comfort with ambiguity: Comfort navigating ambiguity with structured problem-solving skills
  • Technologically curious & AI-aware: You don't need to be a technologist, but you understand how AI and digital transformation are reshaping financial services-and you're energized by that change.
  • Bold communicator: You speak with clarity, take a position, follow through, and aren't afraid to challenge thoughtfully.
  • Breadth orientation: You're drawn to the platform-how all pieces connect-not just one line of business.
  • Demonstrated leadership: You've led in school, work, or community. You don't just follow; you move things forward.
  • Adaptability & intellectual curiosity: You manage constant change, learn quickly, and thrive in environments where you don't know all the answers yet.
  • Collaborative & high performing: You work effectively in teams, raise the bar for everyone, and care about collective success


What's in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best while working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving mutual success.
  • A comprehensive Total Rewards Program, including competitive compensation, bonuses, and flexible benefits.
  • Opportunity to work on challenging and impactful assignments in dynamic, collaborative high-performing teams.
  • Exposure to senior leadership through dedicated mentorship, coaching, and networking opportunities.
  • Robust learning & development enabling strong relationships and visibility across the enterprise.
  • Location: Toronto, Ontario
  • Work arrangement: Associates will be required to work in the office on the same cadence as their team.


Selection Process:

  • Post application review, a select set of candidates will be asked to take part in 2 rounds of virtual interviews as part of our first round in the selection process.
  • The second stage of the process will include a case study and/or assessment.
  • Those invited back for the last round will take part in virtual or in-person final recruitment activities in Toronto.


We thank all interested candidates, however, only those selected for the next stage in the selection process will be contacted.
