Your counsel is built on logic, analysis, and strategy, coupled with a natural curiosity and an appreciation for learning from challenges. Your passion for making a difference directly impacts TELUS' success and creates positive outcomes for team members and customers.
What you’ll do
Partner and build effective relationships with TELUS leaders to address data and trust challenges, organizational design, and data and trust operational needs - offering expert advice, creative solutions, and new processes where required
Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, expanding leadership capability, challenging the status quo, and ensuring data and trust strategies align with TELUS’ business goals, values, and its arms-length relationship with TELUS
