Digital & Technology Solutions has set out to achieve the following objectives for EDC:
- Define, execute, and sustain the integrated technology target state, target data model and technology operations required to enable EDC’s 2030 business transformation.
- Establish and manage the rolling 3 Year Digital Roadmap that sequences the technology outcomes required to achieve the technology target state and facilitate its execution across all domains in the organization.
- Keep pace with industry trends and emerging technologies, ensuring EDC has access to the digital technology tools it needs to stay relevant in the market and grow Canadian global trade.
- Lead and ensure integrated digital, data, infrastructure, and cybersecurity implementations to create excellent customer, user, and employee experiences.
To position ourselves for success, the Digital Business Platforms group is seeking a senior Automation Technical Lead to own, scale, and operate EDC’s enterprise automation platform, with a strong emphasis on UiPath platform infrastructure and production operations within a regulated financial services environment.

In this role, you will help evolve EDC’s automation capability from project-based delivery into a run‑and‑grow enterprise platform, ensuring automation is secure, scalable, auditable, and resilient.
If you thrive in environments where production accountability, technical depth, and governance matter, we’d love to hear from you.
