What is the opportunity?
Join our U.S. Technology Strategy and Architecture team as Director, Technology Product Strategy, where you will play a key role in supporting the development and execution of technology strategy across RBC’s U.S. organization.

What will you do?
- Support target-state strategy development: Partner with Technology Strategy & Architecture leadership to develop and maintain forward-looking U.S. technology strategy and, where required, business-line technology strategies.

- Support architecture governance and control: Partner with Enterprise Architecture and technology teams to facilitate architecture governance activities, track strategic and architectural decisions, identify areas requiring escalation, and support alignment with established architecture principles and target states.
- Coordinate strategic planning activities: Support recurring strategy, roadmap, portfolio, and governance processes across the U.S. technology organization, ensuring stakeholders have the information and analysis required to make timely decisions.
- Develop executive-level materials: Translate complex technology topics into concise presentations, recommendations, business cases, and decision materials for senior technology and business leadership.
- Monitor strategic progress: Develop and maintain KPIs, KRIs, and other measures that provide visibility into progress against technology strategies, roadmaps, strategic initiatives, and architectural objectives.
- Build organizational capability: Support the development and adoption of frameworks, methodologies, tools, templates, and ways of working that strengthen technology strategy and architecture capabilities across the U.S. organization.
- Facilitate cross-functional collaboration: Coordinate across business lines, technology teams, architecture, finance, risk, and other stakeholders to gather inputs, resolve issues, and support decisions on cross-cutting technology priorities.
- Identify emerging issues and opportunities: Analyze trends across the technology estate and external technology landscape to identify potential capability gaps, duplication, architectural constraints, emerging technologies, and opportunities for strategic improvement.
