What you’ll be doing

As a Sr. Project Manager, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management of complex projects or programs within the People, Culture & Talent PMO, involving several departments, often within a matrix management structure.

You will follow a formal Project Management Methodology, ensuring that thorough consideration is given from several perspectives including client experience, frontline user, efficiency and risk. You have the ability to plan and coordinate several concurrent independent and inter-dependent initiatives involving innovative approaches and a strategic orientation.

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 1-2 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
