Purpose

The Senior Manager, Recovery & Resolution Planning (RRP) plays a key role in advancing the Bank’s global recovery and resolution planning capabilities.

• Support the preparation of regulatory deliverables, including recovery plans, resolution submissions, self-assessments, and responses to supervisory requests.
• Participate in reviews, examinations, and industry dialogues on recovery and resolution matters.

Scenario Analysis & Testing

• Coordinate recovery and resolution scenario development, testing exercises, and contingency playbook reviews.
• Analyze the financial and operational feasibility of recovery options and interdependencies across entities and jurisdictions.
• Oversee analytical workstreams, including liquidity and funding in resolution, capital and other point of non-viability triggers, capital positioning, identification of material legal entities, critical operations and shared services mapping, and other legal/financial rationalization.

Stakeholder Management

• Work collaboratively with partners in Treasury, Finance, Legal, GRM, and the business lines to ensure alignment of recovery and resolution strategies with broader risk and capital frameworks.
• Partner closely with all key senior management across the bank’s leadership platform to help ensure the seamless integration of U.S. resolution planning into strategic and operational decision-making.
• Present findings and updates to senior management committees and working groups.

Continuous Enhancement & Benchmarking

• Monitor evolving regulatory expectations and peer practices across US FBOs, US G-SIBs, and other Canadian peers (i.e., Canadian D-SIBs).
• Support enhancements to internal governance, metrics, and documentation to ensure ongoing readiness.
• Provide support in advancing Scotiabank’s enterprise-wide resolution and recovery capabilities, embedding best practices into policies, playbooks, and testing protocols.
