Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

 

Join a Winning Team at Scotiabank! Are you enthusiastic about making an impact for Canadian businesses? In Canadian Commercial Banking, we do not just serve businesses — we serve possibilities.

 

About the Opportunity

 

As a key member of Canadian Commercial Banking, in the role of Managing Director, Mid-Market, M&A Advisory you will be responsible for developing and managing relationships with business clients, delivering tailored financial solutions, and helping Canadian companies achieve their growth ambitions. You will leverage Scotiabank’s extensive capabilities to provide strategic advice, identify opportunities, and deliver an exceptional client experience while contributing to the overall success of the Commercial Banking business.

 

How You Will Make an Impact:

 

•    Champion a client-focused culture to deepen relationships and deliver value-added financial solutions.
•    Build and manage a portfolio of commercial banking clients, identifying opportunities to grow existing relationships and acquire new business.
•    Develop a strong market presence through networking, industry associations, community involvement, and referral partnerships.
•    Partner with internal stakeholders and product specialists to deliver integrated commercial banking solutions.
•    Analyze client financial information and business strategies to structure credit and banking solutions that meet client needs while balancing risk and return.
•    Negotiate and structure credit facilities and other financial solutions in accordance with the Bank's risk appetite and policies.
•    Maintain a strong understanding of industry trends, economic conditions, and market developments affecting clients and prospects.
•    Effectively manage risk by ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements, internal policies, and established credit practices.

•    Actively pursue operational excellence while upholding Scotiabank's Values, Code of Conduct, and Global Sales Principles.

 

What You Will Bring to the Team:

 

You are a seasoned commercial banker and a trusted adviser, the person clients turn to when the decisions matter most. You have grown and retained significant client portfolios, and you bring sound judgment to analyzing financials, assessing credit risk, and structuring solutions that create value for both the client and the Bank. You lead through influence, negotiate with confidence, and keep multiple priorities moving without losing sight of the client experience. Your business, finance, or related degree is the foundation, and an MBA, CFA, or CPA, treasury management expertise, or an established local business network will set you further apart.

   

 Must-Have

 

•    Education: University degree in Business, Commerce, Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related discipline.
•    Experience: Demonstrated experience in commercial banking, corporate banking, business banking, or a related financial services environment.
•    Strong business development and relationship management skills with a proven ability to build and retain client relationships.
•    Experience analyzing financial statements, assessing credit risk, and structuring financing solutions.
•    Strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and influencing skills.
•    Excellent organizational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
•    Sound knowledge of commercial lending principles, credit adjudication, and risk management practices.
•    Commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience.

     

Nice-to-Have

 

•    MBA, CFA, CPA, or other relevant professional designation.
•    Advanced knowledge of commercial banking products and treasury management solutions.
•    Experience serving clients in specialized industries or complex lending environments.
•    Established network within the local business community.
•    Bilingual language capabilities.

About Scotiabank

The Scotiabank Veterans Network (SVN) is committed to supporting veterans, reservists, and military spouses by recognizing and valuing their unique skills and experiences. As a military-friendly employer, Scotiabank actively promotes the integration of veterans into civilian careers by offering a wide range of employment opportunities across the Bank.  SVN plays a key role in this effort, leading initiatives such as a mentorship program designed to support both current and transitioning veterans.

The team was instrumental in driving recent enhancements to Scotiabank’s reservist leave policy and organized the inaugural Valour and Vision Expo in Q4 2024, where industry leaders pledged to support veterans entering the civilian workforce.  In February 2025, Scotiabank proudly served as the lead Banking Sponsor of the Invictus Games, an international multi-sport event that aids in the rehabilitation of wounded, injured, and ill service members—both active and retired.

Additionally, SVN hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including leadership symposiums and annual Remembrance Day ceremonies, to honor and support the military community.
