What you'll be doing

The US Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Transformation, Delivery, and Insights team drives innovation in AML through advanced analytics, technology, and strategic transformation. As a senior leader on this team, you'll lead the delivery of accurate, timely, and well-governed AML reporting and risk assessment data that supports executive decision-making, regulatory expectations, and audit readiness. You'll partner closely with AML Advisory, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Technology, and other Transformation, Delivery, and Insights partners to strengthen data quality, reporting controls, and governance practices. You'll oversee the end-to-end reporting data lifecycle, from requirements intake and data sourcing to calculation logic, quality assurance, reconciliations, refresh management, distribution, and retention. You'll also lead the design and delivery of dashboards, scorecards, and visual analytics in SAS Viya, turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. In addition, you'll guide analysts and matrixed resources, drive continuous improvement across reporting pipelines and controls, and help shape the future state of AML reporting across the bank.

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 3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
