You will architect scalable reconciliation solutions that fundamentally reshape financial operations, optimize financial controls, reduce operational costs, and align with Finance Shared Services strategic objectives.

• Establish centers of excellence and best practices for reconciliation across the enterprise, building organizational capability and embedding sustainable change
• Conduct advanced business analysis and requirements elicitation, translating complex business needs into enterprise reconciliation solutions that support Finance Shared Services scaling and strategic growth
• Lead strategic stakeholder alignment initiatives, balancing competing needs of business, end-users, and technical stakeholders while championing organizational transformation
• Design and optimize reconciliation processes across multiple scenarios (GL to Source System, Sub-ledger, NTZ Intragroup, cash, asset recs, n-way reconciliations)
• Leverage reconciliation product expertise to optimize SmartStream TLM platform configurations, drive best practices implementation, and accelerate time-to-value for new onboarding initiatives
• Develop enterprise-grade project documentation aligned with RBC Agile/PMF standards, including EPICs, User Stories, detailed process flows, comprehensive UAT plans, PRD cut-over strategies, and RTB hand-over documentation
• Architect Financial Information Business Rules (FiBRS) and Static Data configurations for complex onboarding/off-boarding scenarios
• Provide technical leadership in data transformation design, including ETL process optimization (Datastage, Monarch, Apache Airflow, Python) and advanced reporting solutions

What You Need to Succeed

Must Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent professional qualification
• 6+ years of business analysis experience delivering large-scale initiatives, with demonstrated expertise in requirements elicitation and management, enterprise analysis, requirements analysis, and solution assessment and validation
• Deep understanding of reconciliation processes, including GL matching, exception management, cash reconciliation, balance reconciliation, suspense account management, sub-ledger reconciliation, and multi-way reconciliation scenarios in domestic banking, international banking, or insurance environments
• 3+ years of specialized experience leading end-to-end financial services transformation initiatives, including requirement gathering, solution derivation, operational support during transitions, and production deployments
• Proven ability to work independently with minimal support, deriving solutions and driving initiatives to completion while collaborating effectively between operations and IT partners
• Critical and strategic thinking capabilities to analyze complex business challenges and develop innovative, solution-driven approaches
• Demonstrated expertise translating complex financial services requirements into actionable technical solutions, with strong business acumen and source-to-target data mapping expertise
• Proficiency in gap analysis for current state versus future state assessments and source-to-target data mapping
• Enterprise-level delivery experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives with demonstrated collaboration across CTB, RTB, and Operations teams
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams through business transformations with strong stakeholder engagement and change management capabilities
• Flexibility to support occasional weekend availability for system go-lives and production cutover events
