What’s the Opportunity?

Newcomers are critical client segment for RBC, with distinct needs across their journey - from preparing to move to Canada, to establishing their financial lives upon arrival, to building deeper financial relationships as they settle and grow.

As Director, Newcomer Channel Strategy & Operations, you will lead the strategy and evolution of the channels, capabilities and partnership operations required to deliver a differentiated newcomer banking proposition.

  • Identify opportunities to expand the reach and effectiveness of pre-arrival account opening across priority newcomer markets, acquisition channels and strategic partnerships

Enable Newcomer Onboarding, Policy & Process

  • Lead the efforts to remove unnecessary complexity from how newcomers establish a banking relationship while ensuring appropriate risk and regulatory requirements are maintained
  • Identify policies or processes creating disproportionate friction for newcomers
  • Clarify documentation, identification, residency and eligibility requirements
  • Challenge legacy processes and distinguish true regulatory requirements from internal practices
  • Design scalable solutions that balance client experience, growth, operational simplicity and risk
  • Improve consistency in how newcomer policies are understood and executed across channels Own the Newcomer Channel Strategy

Deliver Newcomer Advisor Enablement

  • Ensure frontline employees have the knowledge, tools, and capabilities to deliver a differentiated newcomer experience by working in partnership with enablement and the Advice Centre (Newcomer COE):
  • Define the ideal newcomer advisor experience Simplify complex policies and product information Develop tools and frameworks that support needs-based advice Improve frontline awareness of newcomer beyond banking offers and resources Create feedback loops between NCOE and National Office Newcomer Client Segment team to remain aware of key challenges, issues, or escalations.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
