Toronto, Ontario, Canada Scotiabank Full time

Requisition ID: 199638

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

The world is changing faster than ever and so are we

"Big data" fed by "complex processes" representing "massive stakes" are not just buzzwords to us; they are a genuine reflection of our daily life. Our goal is to be nothing less than The Leading Bank in The Americas that puts Customers First. Achieving this will require us to assemble and retain a Winning Team that can both design and run highly-predictive decisioning and forecasting models that accurately reflect reality. To put things in perspective, our models underpin automated risk-management decisions and forecasts that impact millions of customers and keep hundreds of billions of dollars safe, every single day. We are fortunate to have a world-class team of Data Scientists and Model Operations personnel building and deploying incredible risk models. But they need your help.

Our Model Operations team is responsible for ensuring that every part of the model lifecycle, from planning to data selection, development to implementation, deployment to monitoring is as well documented, controlled, effective and efficient, as possible. Getting models to market quickly is important but getting them "right" is even more so. That is where you come in:
You are capable of poking around "under the hood", asking questions ad-nauseam (in a polite and collaborative way), mapping real world processes to data flows and sources, accurately estimating financial impacts, and implementing analytic pilots to test your hypotheses while spec'ing out how our modeling teams should use what you discovered.

We are results driven, we work hard, we play hard, we nerd out and we bring service, smiles and solutions to every problem that we face; so should you.

What Are We Looking For?

We want talented, pragmatic, analytically-oriented business analysts who are equally at home mapping and translating operational processes into busines rules / algorithms and data flows, as they are challenging and working collaboratively with a diverse range of stakeholders to discover what everyone "does" (and, in fact, doesn't) know (or remember) in the interest of improving our automated decision-making, forecasting and capital allocation.

We want bright and energetic but disciplined minds who come armed with a bottomless sense of curiosity about everything, a passion for getting things done right the first time, the ability to prioritize, a knack for explaining complex issues in simple concise ways and a deep sense of personal and professional accountability.

The ideal candidate will be a consummate team player who is equally comfortable being a:

Business Analyst / Business Consultant / Financial Analyst Process Engineer Data Analyst / Data Scientist Software Architect

Make an Impact
As Canada's only truly global bank, we offer the opportunity to work in markets and with teams you may not otherwise get exposure to. As a Manager, you will report directly to a Senior Manager or Director and will be a critical member of a team collaborating, on a near daily basis, with a wide range of cross-bank stakeholders and internal partners including Data Scientists, Business Line & Operations leaders, Technology & Data teams, Finance, Model Operations, and internal challenge functions.

You will work, day-to-day under the direction of the Model Operations team, leveraging your analytic thinking and approach to support the efforts of either the Director, Forecasting Models or the Director, Decisioning Models to:

Plan and manage initiatives Map and / or re-engineer key processes, data flows and / or business rules Translate concepts into algorithms and architect implementation solutions in accordance with business needs, and internal / regulatory policies and guidelines.

Potential deliverables / outcomes may include (but not be limited to):
Improved operational efficiency and effectiveness
Quantitative analysis to support ongoing decision-making
Business, implementation and project plans that get executed to completion
Business rules, financial formulae and algorithms
Recommendations of what else "we should look into / fix" next

Is This Role Right for You?

You believe, first and foremost, in always doing the right thing and doing things the right way You are both deeply curious and highly pragmatic You are comfortable with data, analytic / technical and business processes You relish ambitious but realistic goals and are committed to achieving them You are comfortable initiating conversations and collaborating with diverse personalities You are social, engaging, not afraid to ask questions and relish the opportunity to both learn and challenge how things are done in a polite and respectful way You can prioritize activities to deliver the right balance of "quick wins" & lasting solutions You understand and embrace the responsibility and weight that comes with the fact that your work will impact numerous high-level stakeholders You look forward to sharing your ideas and insights through both high-quality effective and concise verbal & written communications You are professional, motivated AND FUN. We mean it.
