Internal & External

At ATB, we exist to make it possible for our clients, team members and communities. Our purpose is more than aspirational. It's a real commitment we live every day through our values (what we call the ATB ID).


Life at ATB is about more than work. In fact, we're consistently recognized as one of Canada's top employers thanks to our high-care, high-performance culture, upheld by the three commitments we make to our team members:

Impact in action:

No matter where you are in the organization, you're empowered to make an impact in the lives of our clients and communities.

Thrive together:

We want you--the unique, authentic you--to feel safe and celebrated at work. We're on a continuous journey to build the most flexible and inclusive programs.

Ready for tomorrow:

We want to enable your success through interesting and challenging work, performance enablement, and learning and development.


About the Role

As ATB's next

Senior Finance Operations Analyst

, you will be a key guardian of our financial integrity, governing internal account usage across the organization. This is a high-impact, collaborative role where you will partner with internal teams to provide Senior Management, Internal Risk groups, and External Auditors with the assurance that risks to financial reporting are effectively mitigated. You will deliver monthly risk-based monitoring and oversight that ensures adherence to the organization's policies, controls (such as Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting [ICOFR]), and procedures relevant to internal accounts.


Leveraging a detective's mindset, you will perform variance investigations to safeguard financial accuracy, proactively identifying anomalies and translating material balance fluctuations into clear business narratives. You will balance the predictable rhythm of monthly deliverables with the agility to thrive with various ad-hoc operations, pivoting quickly to provide expert internal account support for business requests, project demands, and unexpected operational challenges.


As a Digital Modernizer, you will modernize workflows by leveraging emerging technologies - including

AI tools like Gemini

and SQL-based automation - to evolve our internal account oversight capabilities. You will serve as Strategic Consultant and Subject Matter Expert, partnering with various internal teams to evaluate account requests and design lean, optimal financial structures that support business solutions and processes.


Finally, as a Knowledge Leader, you will mentor team members and educate stakeholders across the bank, fostering a culture of internal account governance excellence and reconciliation best practices.


This role offers a structured, cycle-based rhythm that provides the operational capacity to master ATB's financial ecosystem while spearheading the continuous process improvements that define the future of internal account oversight.
