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.
