At EQ, we're remaking banking so every Canadian gets ahead, every day. Serving nearly 4 million Canadians from coast to coast, we offer a wide variety of financial services from banking and lending, to trust and credit union solutions.

What's kept us moving?  The people behind it all: challengers who ask better questions, push back on old assumptions, and look for a better way forward.
If you're driven to help reshape how banking works for Canadians and the businesses that power our economy, this could be your next big opportunity. 
We can't wait to get to know you!

  • Assisting other Credit Risk teams (e.g. Retail Lending Quality Assurance) with the enablement of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") tools in select functions.

The ideal candidate has a strong interest in process improvement and technology with a desire for exposure to a business/finance/risk environment.

  • Assist with identifying opportunities where AI tools can improve efficiency, documentation, or analysis within Credit Risk processes.
  • Support basic experimentation and learning related to AI-enabled workflows under guidance from Risk and Data partners.
  • Assist with process improvements and procedures as well as documentation of such.
Let's Talk About You!

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook and experience utilizing AI for organization and automation
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.
 
Job Complexities/Thinking Challenges:

The Credit Risk environment is dynamic and constantly evolving due to changes in market conditions, borrower behaviour, and regulatory expectations. This role requires curiosity, adaptability, and critical thinking to support analyses that inform risk decisions.

As an intern, you will be exposed to real-world credit risk challenges and must be comfortable learning new concepts, asking questions, and balancing accuracy with tight timelines. Success in this role depends on attention to detail, a willingness to learn, and an ability to connect data insights to business and risk implications.
