With over $250.4 billion in gross assets under management, British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) stands as one of Canada's largest and most respected institutional investors. Since its inception, BCI has grown into a globally influential financial institution with a diverse, international portfolio.

In recent years, BCI has invested heavily in modernizing its technology operations. The integration of advanced enterprise tools, leading analytics capabilities, and a fast-paced, business-focused technology organization has laid a strong foundation for growth. These efforts have improved operational stability—reducing critical system interruptions from 55 to zero—and have fostered a desire for further technological innovation throughout the business.

To lead its technology innovation efforts, BCI has created the new role of Senior Director, Digital Transformation and Technology Innovation.

The Senior Director will oversee a portfolio spanning incremental improvements, breakthrough innovations, and cutting-edge experiments. The role will focus on operationalizing new technologies—from small-scale proofs of concept to large-scale pilots—while fostering a culture of continuous technology innovation across the organization.

Externally, the Senior Director will engage with the broader technology community, identifying partnerships and collaborations that enhance BCI’s capabilities. Internally, they will cultivate a culture of innovation, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure new technologies are thoroughly vetted and effectively implemented.
