What you’ll be doing

 
The Strategy team for Client Account Management (CAM) is responsible for developing, maintaining, and executing the CAM Strategy Roadmap across a diverse suite of products (secured & unsecured). As a Senior Business Consultant​, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing CAM’s strategic direction across the collection lifecycle, including pre- and post-charge off, recovery (agency collections), and both secured and unsecured products. You will lead high-impact, transformational initiatives that align with CAM’s vision, focusing on strategic change, product roadmaps, and sustainable operational improvements. Your work will require you to collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure infrastructure, privacy, and technical requirements are met, and drive meaningful and measurable outcomes. You may also lead projects related to the development and implementation of new or revised policies, procedures, and standards. In this senior role, you will provide strategic leadership and hands-on guidance, supporting both the planning and execution of initiatives that enhance client experience and business outcomes. You will act as a thought leader within the team, offering guidance and professional advice to junior specialists.

 
At CIBC, we enable a work environment designed for you to thrive. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid arrangement, spending 1-3 days per week on-site, with the remainder remote.
