You will maintain an awareness of emerging risks and regulatory requirements related to cybersecurity in all jurisdictions where CIBC conducts business. You will develop and maintain a perspective on the strength of controls related to cybersecurity and will periodically provide insights and opinions on these for reporting to senior management and the Audit Committee.

The role drives innovation across areas of responsibility, applying expert interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills.
