One of Canada's Big 5 banks is looking for a Senior Communications Specialist to join its technology organization on a 12-month contract, with a chance to extend. You'll support a technology group behind the bank's commercial banking and credit platforms, and you'll be the person who makes that work clear, visible and meaningful to the wider business.
This role suits a strong writer who can sit with developers, architects and release managers and turn what they tell you into something an executive or business partner understands at a glance.

- Draft, edit and coordinate pre- and post-production release communications
- Write weekly achievements content for newsletters and other internal channels
- Contribute to leadership updates, articles, announcements and town hall messaging
- Build and polish PowerPoint presentations on group strategy, including simple visuals and infographics
- Gather input from technical and business stakeholders and translate it for non-technical audiences
- Track the communications schedule, approvals, dependencies and deadlines across multiple reviewers
What you bring
- 5–7 years of communications experience, with a focus on internal, employee or technology communications
- Writing that is clear and concise, with a straight-talk, storytelling style that shows the value of technology work
- Working knowledge of technology concepts such as application development, migrations and cloud, and the ability to explain them in plain language
- Strong skills in Outlook, Teams and especially PowerPoint
- A track record of managing several stakeholders, priorities and deadlines at once without anything slipping
- A post-secondary degree in communications, PR, journalism or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Financial services or large-enterprise technology experience is a strong asset
The details
- 12-month contract with a chance to extend
- Hybrid: 2 days a week onsite in downtown Toronto (Mondays plus one other day)
- Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours a week
- $40–$45/hr on T4, or up to $55/hr incorporated
- Immediate start
