What you’ll be doing

Global Operational Risk Management (GORM) is responsible for providing oversight of CIBC's global operational risk exposures through the Operational Risk Management and Control Frameworks including people, technology, processes or external events. The Operational Risk Management and Control Programs team is part of GORM and is responsible for developing and managing frameworks, policies, systems, tools and processes to ensure CIBC has a sound internal control environment, meets regulatory requirements and is effective in managing operational risks.

As a Risk Manager, you will provide support to lead the Scenario Analysis Program, the External Events Review and conduct a monthly regulatory scan. Scenario Analysis is key tool used in managing and measuring operational risk by obtaining expert opinion of business line management and Control Groups to identify potential operational risk events and assess their outcome, and where appropriate, identify actions to mitigate the risk exposures. An External Event Review (EER) is the examination of significant external losses to determine if such losses could occur at CIBC. In addition, you will perform a monthly regulatory review and stay abreast of regulatory changes that impact CIBC’s Operational Risk Management Policy and Control Framework.

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