    • Leading the ETCs through an annual business planning process to ensure they have targeted activities aligned with their objectives and maximizing results;
    • Collaborating with other ETC Practice Leaders to exchange best practices and ideas for new business generation, while coordinating the regional implementation of national campaigns;
    • Ensuring proactive outreach to prospective clients in the Will Bank and addressing any estate planning needs appropriately;
    • Working with the Regional Director and Market Leads to develop the annual profit plan, including projected expenses for ETCs.
  3. Enhance advisor engagement and strengthen partnerships in the region by:

    • Acting as a resource for ETCs and others in the region regarding complex or challenging client situations;
    • Participating in client meetings as needed to discuss the relevance of Scotiatrust solutions.
  5. Foster a customer-centric culture within the team to deepen client relationships and leverage broader Bank relationships, systems, and knowledge.
  6. Understand the Bank's risk appetite and culture to inform daily activities and decisions.
  7. Create an environment where the team pursues effective and efficient operations while ensuring compliance with operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, AML/ATF risk, and conduct risk.
  8. Develop a high-performance environment and implement a people strategy that attracts, retains, develops, and motivates team members while fostering an inclusive workplace.
