Business Unit Description

Capital Markets offers integrated capital markets products, investment banking advisory services, corporate lending, and highly regarded research across asset classes and sectors to corporate, government, and institutional clients worldwide. The business unit encompasses Global Markets, Global Investment and Corporate Banking, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Global Payments.

Job Purpose

The Executive Director, Business Intelligence and Analytics, supports the Head of International Banking in developing strategy, new initiatives and client plans across international operations.

The role works in close coordination with regional and global leadership, product partners, technology, risk, finance, and operations teams to ensure that data, insights, and reporting are aligned with business priorities. While this position operates independently and is responsible for delivering its own outcomes, it depends on strong stakeholder engagement to gather requirements, challenge assumptions, and drive consistent results across international operations.

  • Lead the business planning process, ensuring alignment with CIBC and Capital Markets business development plans and priorities.

  • Work with the Head of International Banking to lead and execute business initiatives and projects, enabling businesses to achieve their mandate, goals, and objectives.

  • Consult with management and provide direction for all international initiatives and projects as needed.

  • Develop business plans and requirements for projects and initiatives in collaboration with business leaders and various support partners.

Compliance Requirements and Responsibilities

As an employee of CIBC, the incumbent must adhere to all relevant CIBC and Line of Business policies, standards, guidelines, and controls.

Knowledge and Skills

  • Comprehensive understanding of financial and regulatory markets, with strong familiarity with Capital Markets products and an in-depth knowledge of banks' balance sheets, especially regarding funding and capital.

  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to interpret complex data, identify trends, and provide clear, actionable recommendations to senior stakeholders.

  • Proficiency in AI-enabled and advanced analytics tools, with experience in applying machine learning, automation, and generative AI capabilities to enhance analysis, decision-making, and business outcomes.

  • Advanced research skills, including the ability to source, evaluate, synthesize, and validate information from multiple internal and external data sources to support strategic initiatives and executive-level reporting.

  • Strong data literacy and technical understanding, with experience working with structured and unstructured data, data models, dashboards, and reporting frameworks commonly used in Business Intelligence environments.

  • Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and concisely, tailoring insights for both technical and non-technical audiences, and producing high-quality written materials, presentations, and executive summaries.

  • Sound commercial and business judgment, with a clear understanding of how data and analytics support strategic objectives, risk management, performance measurement, and operational efficiency.

  • Experience collaborating across functions, such as technology, risk, finance, and business teams, with the ability to influence outcomes without direct authority.

  • Strong attention to detail and data quality, with a disciplined approach to validation, controls, and governance to ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of insights.

  • Capability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, balancing short-term deliverables with longer-term analytical and strategic initiatives.
