What you’ll be doing

As Senior Consultant, Organization Design and Effectiveness, you will support the Organization Design (OD) team in delivering structural design options to HR Advisory partners and business leaders. You will manage projects, prepare materials, conduct market research, and contribute to practice development within Organization Design. You’ll collaborate with HR Advisory, business leaders, the Executive Appointment Process (EAP) team, and other stakeholders to standardize materials, create process maps, track executive headcount, and integrate organization design materials into broader HR processes. You will play a key role in job architecture reviews, mapping team members to new job families, and maintaining consistency in job descriptions across the bank. You will also support the creation and maintenance of a comprehensive job description inventory at CIBC, which may include implementing job description software.

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 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.  Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed at the time of your interview.
