POSITION OVREVIEW

At BDC, the only bank dedicated exclusively to Canadian entrepreneurs, you will help ensure the stability and continuity of critical business applications within the CLICS ecosystem. As a senior reference, you oversee complex incident resolution, coordinate with IT teams, and protect production stability. Your work contributes directly to reliable services that support Canadian businesses. We value inclusion and enable you to be yourself at work.

CHALLENGES TO BE MET

• Analyze and develop solutions: Partner with business stakeholders, analysts, and IT teams to analyze complex CLICS production issues. Translate business needs into clear functional requirements and support solution design and deployment.
• Advanced problem resolution: Act as an escalation point for complex, non‑standard, or high‑impact incidents. Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and recommend durable fixes that reduce recurrence and operational risk.
• Incident and priority management: Prioritize incidents and service requests based on urgency and business impact. Coordinate major incident management (MIM), triage, and follow‑up to improve resolution cycle health.
• Functional and application expertise: Maintain deep knowledge of CLICS and related applications, including integrations and dependencies. Explain system behaviors, capabilities, and limitations to business and IT stakeholders.
• Collaboration with IT teams and squads: Work closely with development and satellite teams; participate in governance and delivery forums; support operational transitions during releases and deployments (change/release management).
• Documentation and continuous improvement: Build and maintain operational documentation and knowledge base articles (KBAs). Identify recurring issues and opportunities for automation and process optimization to improve first‑contact resolution.
• Governance, compliance, and audits: Provide evidence for internal/external audits; support controls related to access management, segregation of duties (SoD), and operational reporting.
• Functional leadership: Mentor analysts and new team members; promote knowledge sharing and best practices to strengthen the team’s operational maturity.
