What you'll be doing

As a member of CIBC’s team, the Senior Consultant, Workforce Planning and Operating Model Strategy plays a key role in shaping the strategic direction of the Personal Banking and Imperial Service businesses. As a Senior Consultant, you’ll support the development of the strategic roadmap, future-state role and operating model strategies, and long-term workforce plans that enable business growth and evolving client needs. You’ll partner with senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to assess, design, and evolve frontline roles, accountabilities, and coverage models so the operating model and workforce remain aligned to business strategy. You’ll also support strategic planning across Banking Centre Distribution and the Mass Affluent domain, translating business priorities into an integrated plan that considers role design, workforce requirements, capacity, productivity, and growth. Through strategic analysis and strong partnership, you’ll help leadership identify future opportunities, evaluate operating model and workforce implications, and translate strategy into actionable plans that support sustainable growth across Personal Banking and Imperial Service.

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 2-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.

  • Strategic workforce planning - Support the development of forward-looking workforce strategies aligned to business growth, role evolution, capacity, productivity, and organizational design. Partner with Finance, Human Resources, and Analytics to model workforce requirements, evaluate scenarios, identify optimization opportunities, and inform resource allocation across roles, markets, and channels.
  • Strategic problem solving and analytics - Frame complex business and operating model challenges, identify required analysis, and partner with Analytics and Finance to build a clear fact base. Use insights to assess trade-offs, evaluate options, and support practical, data-informed recommendations.
  • Executive communication and strategic advisory - Develop executive presentations, strategic analyses, performance insights, and recommendations for senior leadership.

Who you are

  • You hold a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, or a related field; an MBA is considered an asset.
  • You understand strategy and operating model design. You have demonstrated knowledge of strategic planning, role design, and operating model development. You can translate business strategy into practical recommendations and implementation plans.
  • You can demonstrate strong business knowledge. You bring a strong understanding of retail strategy, frontline distribution, and the broader financial services environment.

  • Your influence makes a difference. You build trusted relationships and effectively partner across key stakeholder groups. You’re comfortable constructively challenging perspectives, navigating differing points of view, and building alignment around a recommended path forward.
  • You know that details matter. You ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, identify connections others may not see, and balance strategic thinking with the attention to detail needed to turn ideas into executable plans.
  • You live your values. You bring high standards, genuine care to your relationships, and want to grow with an employer that shares your values and brings out your best.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
