The role

To drive the harmonisation of career bands and job titles within Technology in broad alignment with an internationally recognised career framework and thus empower the staff progression element of the Scotiabank Engineering Mindset culture re‑alignment. Take the multiple different titles and progression tracks within Scotia and map them all onto one universally accepted model prepared in conjunction with HR. Liaise with HR and the various CIOs to ensure that the mapping is appropriate and acceptable in context. Maintain the mapping going forward in time to reflect industry and external technology changes.

Implement the change management process to actualise the changed job titles and put them into effect. Draft and prepare training material to ensure that the change sticks once done. Work with HR tech to ensure that there can be on “drift” over time away from the official titles.
