Collaborate across teams, including business lines, corporate functions, product, technology, data, and compliance to understand risk reporting needs and elevate them into integrated, scalable systems.
Support the evolution of enterprise risk reporting tools, helping to modernize how risk is visualized, communicated, and embedded across the organization.
You bring:
Your currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Business, or a related field at a recognized Canadian institution.

You’re comfortable working independently and collaboratively, managing multiple priorities with confidence and focus.
You’re curious about how organizations manage risk and how data, design, and systems thinking can make it better.
You’re confident engaging with stakeholders and understanding how their work connects to broader business processes.
You’re disciplined, organized, and thrive in environments where deadlines and quality both matter
