We are building a world class team focused on creating new experiences, exploring new business models and developing new relationships that add value to how people live and work.

About the role
Along with business formation, Ownr provides a package of services that sets businesses up for success. One of those services is business banking through RBC, which will help keep finances neat and organized. To that end, Ownr entrepreneurs can create RBC business deposit accounts (BDAs) within the Ownr product platform by leveraging RBC banking tools. You will be processing the creation of these accounts online, end-to-end. As part of the Online BDA (OBDA) creation process, you will be communicating with RBC branch staff to facilitate an in-branch or phone appointment that will finalize the account. If any technical issues or system outages arise, you will be sending clients into the branch in a professional manner.
You’ll have regular 1:1’s with your manager which focus on performance, coaching and development. You’ll also be a part of a newly formed sales team and have a voice in the future of our sales and banking program as we grow. If you’re thinking about this role, it means you’re a creative, organized, and driven individual who is motivated by a passion to help entrepreneurs succeed in their business.
