This will include data aggregation, analysis, and visualization; creation and design of reporting; and presentation of materials to senior management. Reporting encompasses internal portfolio data and external economic and market data. Persons in this role not only publish metrics but work to understand what drives the results—not just what happened, but why.
• Several of our key reports also undergo annual “refreshes” to determine whether their contents remain appropriate and useful. You will contribute to this process by reviewing metrics and data points (as well as our risk tolerances for each metric/data point) for relevance and statistical soundness. This process is our opportunity to ensure that reporting is responsive to current economic and market conditions and can be easily comprehended across a wide range of audiences.
  
  This process also entails collaboration within the US CRE line of business and across other areas of the bank.

• You will help maintain an inventory of reports and monitoring activities related to the management of risk.
• Given the need to remain familiar with trends and risks that could impact CIBC’s CRE portfolio and the broader US CRE sector, we encourage you to keep abreast of news in the industry and of economic data.
• You will collaborate with other members of the US CRE team to ensure the work you are responsible for is cognizant of, aligns with, supports, and adds value to other activities.
