About The Position

The Sr. Manager, Regulatory Remediation is responsible for implementing best practices and guiding regulatory and audit remediation efforts for the RBC Technology Infrastructure (TI) group.

Requirements

• Minimum of 7 years of experience in regulatory remediation, regulatory relations, or a similar role with a strong regulatory focus within large, complex financial institutions.
• Direct experience closing issues to regulator expectations in the U.S. and Canada (e.g., working with management responses, closure packages, and evidence mapping).
• Demonstrated ability to independently form and execute action plans in ambiguous environments and a proven track record of driving end-to-end outcomes.
• Expert at senior-level, risk-based reporting—distilling complex remediation into executive-ready insights.
• Deep knowledge of Three Lines of Defense practices, tollgates, and evidence standards for closure; ability to design success criteria and assess the sufficiency of evidence.
• Exceptional written communication skills for LoD stakeholders, regulators, and senior leadership (clear, concise, evidence-backed, aligned to supervisory language).
• Strong stakeholder influence and escalation judgment; ability to lead cross-functional forums and hold action owners accountable.
• Ability to independently manage and prioritize multiple risk remediation projects simultaneously.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a results-oriented mindset.

Responsibilities

• Guide stakeholders through the end-to-end risk remediation lifecycle, which includes crafting management responses, developing comprehensive action plans, defining success criteria, executing remediation requirements, and documenting the remediation for closure.
• Provide risk oversight of remediation progress and ongoing adherence to regulatory requirements.
• Execute a framework for evidence gathering and closure documentation creation that meets regulatory standards.
• Ensure corrective actions directly address underlying causes and reduce residual risk to within the risk appetite.
• Develop senior-level, risk-based reporting that distills complex remediation content into executive-ready insights on residual risk, risk appetite, control effectiveness, and sustainability.
• Prepare issue owners for required tollgates and provide documentary evidence requirements for closure.
• Oversee remediation working groups and escalation forums, and influence stakeholders across Technology, Operations, Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit to remove blockers and hold remediation owners accountable.
