Business Management

Advise. Align. Transform.

BMO Commercial Banking is embarking on a multi-year transformation to redefine how it delivers value to clients and empowers its people. This role sits at the center of that journey.

As a Commercial Transformation Consultant, you will operate as an internal strategy and transformation advisor to senior leaders-shaping the vision, structuring the roadmap, and driving alignment across the enterprise. You will combine strategy consulting rigor, executive storytelling, and hands-on execution to ensure transformation efforts translate into meaningful business outcomes.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, influences without authority, and can move seamlessly from board-level narrative to operational detail.

Your Mandate

Define the "North Star" for Commercial Banking

• Develop and articulate a clear, compelling transformation narrative that explains why change is required , what the future looks like , and how the bank will get there .
• Ensure transformation initiatives are explicitly linked to client value, employee experience, and strategic objectives.

Architect the Transformation Agenda

• Design and maintain an enterprise-aligned transformation roadmap, supported by OKRs and clear success measures.
• Integrate major initiatives (e.g., customer self-service, lending transformation, operating model evolution) into a cohesive, sequenced plan.
• Pressure-test feasibility, identify dependencies, and inform leadership decision-making.

Act as a Trusted Advisor to Senior Leaders

• Serve as a forward-deployed consultant to Commercial Banking leadership, helping define priorities, clarify trade-offs, and align on future capabilities.
• Prepare executive-ready materials and storytelling for the Commercial Banking Transformation Committee (CBTC) and related forums.
• Lead and structure CBTC monthly planning, progress, and alignment sessions.

Drive Real Change-Beyond Technology

• Ensure transformation efforts address operating model implications, including roles, governance, processes, and ways of working.
• Drive clarity on what must change in how the business operates-not just what systems are implemented.
• Help leaders move from strategy decks to executable actions.

What You'll Deliver

• A shared, enterprise-wide transformation vision that resonates with leaders and teams.
• Strong, sustained alignment across stakeholders on priorities and sequencing.
• Transformation programs that are credible, executable, and value-driven.
• Leaders equipped with the narrative, tools, and confidence to lead change.

Profile of an Ideal Candidate

• Former or current management consultant, or equivalent experience in strategy, transformation, or internal advisory roles.
• Exceptional structured thinking and storytelling skills-able to simplify complexity without losing substance.
• Demonstrated experience building and executing large-scale transformation agendas.
• Comfort operating with senior executives and influencing diverse stakeholders.
• Pragmatic, action-oriented, and intellectually curious.

Why This Role

• Hybrid working model with 4 days per week in office, enabling close collaboration.

• High visibility with senior Commercial Banking leadership.
• Opportunity to shape the future operating model of a leading North American bank.
• A rare internal role that mirrors external consulting impact and responsibility.
