Senior Manager, Executive Reporting & Advisory

Requisition ID: 278971

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

The Senior Manager, Tech Executive Reporting & Board Advisory, is the driving force behind how ScotiaTech shows up to the Board, the CEO, and senior leaders across Technology. Accountable for the accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of every submission, the Sr. Manager turns complex inputs from across the organization into clear, decision-ready materials. The Sr. Manager also serves as a trusted advisor to the Group Head & CIO and senior leaders on Board engagement. Beyond delivering each reporting cycle, the Sr. Manager builds the standards, processes, and operating routines that raise the bar for how ScotiaTech reports. The Sr. Manager also brings a pragmatic approach to strategy execution, replacing leader-reported progress with outcomes, timelines, and maturity targets that show where we are delivering against the All-Bank Technology Strategy.

Reporting to the Director, Technology Strategy Execution & Performance, the Sr. Manager leads the Tech Executive Reporting & Advisory team and operates as an advisor who shapes the approach, challenges the status quo, and drives adoption of reporting and process standards across ScotiaTech.

Executive & Board Reporting

• Own the end-to-end assembly of Board, committee, executive and potentially regulatory reporting. Gather, validate, and synthesize inputs from subject-matter experts across Technology into one consistent narrative.
• Own the reporting calendar, gating timelines, and submission readiness for recurring and ad-hoc deliverables. Ensure accuracy, completeness, and on-time delivery against fixed governance deadlines.
• Maintain core reporting content and ensure consistency across interrelated materials, including but not limited to the Monthly Management Report to the CEO, Quarterly Board Report, ScotiaTech Operational Review forum, and other Board cycle materials.
• Challenge data quality, assumptions, and lineage. Escalate gaps, issues, and risks early, with recommended resolutions.
• Develop processes, platforms, interaction models, and guidance materials to standardize and elevate how Board orchestration and stakeholder engagement operates.

Board & Executive Advisory

• Prepare action/decision minutes, briefing materials, talk tracks, and decision support for executive and governance forums, as well as completing redactions of Boad content to regulators.
• Anticipate Board and executive questions and information needs, and build them into the reporting approach.

Strategy Execution & Outcome Measurement

• Build a pragmatic approach to tracking and reporting on strategy execution. Define outcomes, milestones, owners, and timelines for each pillar and work package, and replace self-reported status with evidence-based progress.
• Embed a maturity model into strategy tracking, with current-state and target-state maturity by pillar and domain.
• Build traceability from initiative to outcome to value realized, and integrate it with the performance scorecard and Board reporting so strategy and metrics tell one story.
• Lead pillar-level effectiveness assessments and recommend corrective action where delivery is off-track.

Governance, Operating Model & Continuous Improvement

• Set and maintain Enterprise standards for reporting quality, consistency, and usefulness. Ensure stakeholders follow reporting processes and that outputs meet governance and regulatory expectations.
• Lead continuous improvement of reporting processes, templates, and workflows. Drive digitization and automation and reduce duplicative reporting.
• Stabilize and mature operating routines, such as operations forums and Board and committee cycles, so topics, decisions, and actions are tracked to closure.
• Build strong relationships with Technology, Enterprise Risk, Finance, other Corporate Functions, and Enterprise governance partners (e.g. the corporate secretary) to enable collaboration and adoption.

Leadership & Judgment

• Provide direction, coaching, and quality review to team members or analysts supporting the work, where applicable.
• Exercise sound judgment, discretion, and integrity when handling sensitive and confidential information.
• Manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment while holding a high-quality bar..
