What You will Be Doing

 

As a senior member of the US CRE Governance & Controls Team you will be responsible for planning, preparing, and presenting various risk assessments related to various aspects of US CRE’s portfolio and operational activities.  These assessments are typically conducted on an annual basis, but require many months of effort to complete.  There is a need to remain plugged into ongoing and emerging trends and risks impacting CIBC’s CRE portfolio and the broader US commercial real estate sector.  There is also the need to coordinate with, and synthesize inputs and address challenge from, various parties within US CRE and across the second line of defense – Credit Risk Management, Operational Risk Management, and Enterprise Risk Management.

 

You will also be responsible for understanding US CRE’s control environment, identify gaps and enhancements to the control environment, identifying and/or designing and helping to implement effective, sustainable controls, supporting the testing of controls, and working to address any issues identified because of testing.

 

You will collaborate with other members of the US CRE team to ensure the work you are responsible for is cognizant of, aligns with, supports, and adds value to other activities.  Other US CRE team members will collaborate with you in that same spirit to ensure there is cohesion and consistency in what is reported and communicated across the team.

 

You may be responsible for managing, guiding, and developing members of the US CRE Governance & Controls Team. 

 

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role.  You will have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you will spend 2-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.

 

How You will Succeed

·       Relationship Management – Establish and maintain effective, collaborative relationships with US CRE business partners and 2nd and 3rd Lines of Defense for all matters relating to risks and controls.  Always be supportive, responsive, and dependable.

·       Problem Solving – A willingness to think creatively and offer ideas and solutions; a desire to always seek to enhance and improve upon existing practices and deliverables.

·       Risk Assessment/Risk Consulting - Work closely with US CRE partners to proactively identify existing and emerging risks and control gaps.  Communicate risk and control messages, requests, or concerns clearly and succinctly to encourage understanding, accountability, and action.  Come with a well-informed point of view and be ready and willing to contribute.

·       Curiosity and a Desire to Learn – Be willing to learn new topics and master new skills.  Be ready to raise your hand rather than waiting on the sidelines.

·       Connect the Dots – Remain actively involved in, and aware of, work done elsewhere in the US CRE Team and practice connected thinking that remains cognizant of upstream and downstream impacts and dependencies.

 

Who You Are

·       You are passionate about people. You find meaning in relationships, and surround yourself with a diverse network of partners. You build trust through respect and authenticity.

·       You are actively aware of risk management.  You can identify risks and propose mitigants.  You can convey the potential impact of risks and drive the necessary actions and behaviors.  

·       You demonstrate expertise in Commercial Real Estate, or have the desire, determination, and drive to very quickly build and nurture that understanding.

·       You give meaning to data. You enjoy investigating complex problems, and seeking out and making sense of data. You are confident in your ability to synthesize information and communicate informed viewpoints in an impactful way.

·       You understand that success is in the details. You notice things that others do not. Your critical thinking skills help to inform your decision making.  You take pride in your work. 

·       Values matter to you. You are open, honest, and ethical.
