What is the opportunity?

Our goal is to become our industry’s leader in exceptional web, mobile and wearable experiences. To get there, we’re transforming the way we think about our digital platforms. We’re putting strategy, design principles and technical innovation at the centre of everything we do. To bring our new process to life, we need bright people who get excited about the possibilities of digital technologies. Maybe you’re one of the bright people we’re looking for. If you are, we’d like to get to know you now, before you’ve finished your education. As a member of our Design Group, you’ll work with a close-knit and collaborative team. And you’ll do it in a space that overlooks Lake Ontario and offers easy access to the TTC, PATH, New Blue Edge and city bike paths.

We want every point of contact with our RBC clients to feel important to them. That’s where you come in. Content designers shape the story we tell through each of our digital experiences. Your job is to make sure that story talks about their lives and what they need, not about the tangles of banking regulations or the technologies we build to make it happen. To do that, you need to think strategically about the creation and delivery of our content: what we say, how we say it, and where we deliver each piece of that message. You’ll collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines to define the core value of the digital products we design and build. You’ll make sure that every experience – from the overtly promotional to the purely transactional – describes its core value as our clients move through and engage with it. In short: you’ll content to bring our digital products to life.

What will you do?

– Participate in group brainstorms and ideation sessions

– Help every project team to understand how content shapes our clients’ experience of the product or service before them

– Work closely with business stakeholders to become a subject matter expert on the client offering

– Apply all the tools available in your strategic kit: content audits, competitive analyses, content mapping

– Collaborate closely with Interface Designers, Visual Designers, Front-end Developers and Product Managers to shape the value proposition of the experiences we design and build

– Develop concepts and plans for client testing

– Consider the additional or alternate content required to make our experiences accessible to clients using assistive technologies

– Write really well, finding the best ways to bring the RBC digital voice to life as you help clients to do what matters most to them

– Demonstrate an elevated ability to describe technical processes simply and to distill a lot of information into a few clear statements
