You’ll redefine what’s possible by contributing to work that impacts millions of Canadians, taking ownership of your decisions and outcomes, supported by mentors who will push you to think bigger and challenge the status quo.
Are you ready to redefine what’s next?
About the Role
You will join our Toronto office for ~16 weeks in the Summer of 2027 (May to August), to work in teams and directly with our internal stakeholders. You will get to work with a team of fellow strategy analysts, along with associates in other job families such as Data Scientists and Product Managers, to identify solutions for problems or processes.
Over the course of each project, you will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations to business stakeholders.

- Building a challenger model to an existing model that predicts how much customers are likely to spend on their credit cards. The goal: understanding if a simpler model could capture enough of the business value to justify retiring the complex model.
Be ready to join a community of the smartest people you’ve ever met, who see the customer first, and want to use their data skills to change banking for good.
Basic Qualifications:
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate degree from an accredited University with an expected graduation date in or after December 2027.
