    ATB FINANCIAL

    As MD of Product and Platform you will be responsible for providing leadership to a team of product designers, UX/UI and growth hackers in building products and services that have the potential to ignite new markets, drive growth for ATB, and shape millions of lives everyday.

     

    You focus on 10X and leave the incremental thinking at home: if something doesn't have significant impact, you are the person to challenge whether or not it's worth doing.

     

    You will play a critical role in shaping ATB’s innovation roadmap with the SVP of Innovation, ATB Research Partners (University of Alberta, MIT), along with cross functional groups (e.g. Data and Engineering). You’re a skilled creator and producer, adept at rallying teams around an idea, and driving it to reality. You can balance strong technical and tactical skills with the ability to tell a story that mobilizes the team towards a common goal - rewriting the rules of banking.
