What you'll be doing

As a People Leader within the Retail Client Account Management Services Team (CAM), you’ll lead a team of 15‑20 Credit Counsellors working toward a shared goal of delivering an exceptional client experience.

As a people leader, you’ll also hire, develop, and coach your team, inspiring them to perform at their best. You’ll think and act like an owner by helping clients and team members succeed, finding ways to reduce net credit loss, improving productivity, leading daily huddles, and coaching to influence results within a metrics‑driven environment. You’ll make an impact by fostering Trust, Teamwork, and Accountability among your team and partners.

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.
