But broadening her search to include data science and information technology skills seemed more promising. <\/p> <p>     She also had an interest in finance, given her father spent much of his career working in financial services before retiring about 10 years ago. In 2013, Manzer landed an entry-level position in RBC&#8217;s compliance department. Her job wasn&#8217;t directly related to her education, but she did work with databases to help analyze and respond to retail investor clients. <\/p> <p>     It was a crash course in finance for Manzer and set her up for a transfer 21 months later to the analytics department at <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.rbc.com\/ca\/en\/wealth-management\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link-ext\" rel=\"noopener\">RBC Wealth Management<\/a>, where she has progressed to her current role as director, data science. <\/p> <p>     <q>\u201cI didn&#8217;t know much about finance going into the first job at RBC,\u201d<\/q> says Manzer. <q>\u201cI think anyone starting out [in financial services], if they get the chance, should start in compliance. You learn everything about the risk side of the business, which I find beneficial for my job right now.\u201d<\/q> <\/p> <h4>Using artificial intelligence to help clients<\/h4> <p>      <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/lianne-manzer-in-page.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4089\" width=\"778\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/lianne-manzer-in-page.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/lianne-manzer-in-page.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/12\/lianne-manzer-in-page.jpg?resize=768,511 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>  <\/p> <p>     As a data scientist, Manzer&#8217;s role is to use data \u2014 as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning \u2014 to solve problems and find solutions for the Wealth Management business. <\/p> <p>     In her role, Manzer and her team are supported by the wider Wealth Management Applied Analytics and Innovation team, which is a network of data engineers, full stack developers and cloud engineers who work with cutting edge technology. <\/p> <p>     In their day-to-day, the data science team tackles many complex problems, including client attrition, and summarizes and recommends research using natural language processing. <\/p> <p>     <q>\u201cIt&#8217;s about drawing insights out of data using a more structured scientific method and applying techniques \u2014 such as AI and machine learning \u2014 to learn from the data,\u201d<\/q> Manzer says. <\/p> <p>     The job sounds complex \u2014 and it is \u2014 but it boils down to using data to create and innovate. <\/p> <blockquote>     <p>\u201cI love having this blanket of data in front of me, not knowing what it says.
