Sr Communications Specialist

Title: Senior Communications Specialist, Technology (12-Month Contract)

Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid)

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. You'll work with the communications lead to keep a steady flow of content moving across channels, from release notices to leadership messaging.

What you'll do

• 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

Why this one

You'll see a wide range of business groups and sit between technology and the business. It's a good fit if you want to deepen your tech comms experience inside a large, established organization.
