You'll lead and enhance planning, forecasting, stress testing, and performance reporting processes, while preparing materials and analysis for senior leaders including the Canadian Banking Executive team, Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Committee.

Provide insightful commentary on financial performance, trends, risks, and opportunities to support internal communication and executive decision-making.

Strengthen reporting quality, consistency, and efficiency through effective controls, validation, and process enhancements.
