What you'll be doing

Commercial Banking & Wealth Management Compliance (CBWMC) provides securities regulatory advice and oversight to CIBC's Canadian securities registered businesses and individual registrants.

As a Compliance Officer, Electronic Communications (E-Comms) Surveillance, you'll support and execute the CBWMC E-Comms Surveillance program. In this role, you'll monitor, review, and escalate matters related to the conduct of Canadian securities registrants across Personal and Business Banking (PBB), Commercial Banking and Wealth Management (CBWM), and CIBC Asset Management Inc. (CAMI) to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. You'll play a key role in maintaining oversight of electronic communications, helping to safeguard ethical business conduct and regulatory adherence.

Collaboration is essential, as you'll work closely with Senior Compliance Officers, internal compliance teams, and business partners to support each of CBWMC's registered Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs). Your contributions will help foster a strong compliance culture across the organization.

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.

How you'll succeed

• Surveillance & Monitoring - Conduct surveillance by reviewing electronic communications to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements, company policies, practices, and acceptable standards of business ethics and conduct for applicable CBWMC businesses.

• Investigations - Carry out initial investigations into matters related to employee conduct and potential non-compliance with internal or regulatory requirements. Determine when escalation to a Senior Compliance Officer for advanced investigation is required.
