The Work
This opportunity will play a highly visible and crucial role within Finance team to ensure the efficient and effective management of essential financial functions supporting Technology and other business units across the Bank. The Financial Manager will be responsible for tracking project and agile development spend against funding envelopes; recording capitalized expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX) for Bank wide projects and Agile sprints and releases related to product development within EQB’s Technology department (mainly Digital Bank and Digital Lending). In addition, the Financial Manager will be responsible for Project and Agile spend reporting, and other financial reporting as applicable, to senior management.
This role will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Project Management, Personal Banking Product Management, Technology leaders, Finance, and Accounting to establish and ensure both accurate financial analysis and reporting, as well as compliance with accounting policies and procedures.
