What you’ll be doing

The Risk Data Management Office plays an important role in enabling strong risk management through trusted data, modern architecture, and effective governance. As Senior Director, Risk Data Strategy, you’ll lead the vision, design, and delivery of a large, complex, multi-year transformation of CIBC’s risk data ecosystem to deliver measurable improvements in decision-making, data quality, scalability, efficiency, and user experience across the bank. You’ll develop and execute the short-, medium-, and long-term strategy for risk data architecture, aligning risk management priorities with enterprise business, data, and technology capabilities. In this leadership role, you’ll drive modernization across cloud architecture, data governance, integration, reporting, automation, and advanced analytics, while helping strengthen regulatory readiness and enterprise alignment. You’ll work closely with senior leaders across Risk Management, Technology, Finance, Compliance, and Operations to translate complex priorities into a clear roadmap, mobilize cross-functional teams, and deliver sustainable business outcomes. You’ll also lead and develop a high-performing team, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.





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.
