What you'll be doing

As a Senior Audit Manager, Wealth Management, you will provide leadership in improving the overall control environment within CIBC.

In addition, you will identify business controls, design audit steps and perform testing of these key controls. You will also provide an independent opinion on the design and effectiveness of operational and management controls in accordance with industry best practices and develop and maintain strong relationships with business 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 1-3 days per week on‑site, while other days will be remote.

How You’ll Succeed

• Audit Planning and Execution - While you will contribute to developing the division’s risk‑based annual audit plan, your main focus will be planning and managing the execution of audits of large or complex businesses by identifying and fully understanding the key business processes and their inherent risk, the control environment, both at the management or operational levels, and the potential residual risks.
• Audit Reporting - You will drive the reporting component of the audit. This will involve identifying significant business control weaknesses, and objectively assessing the severity and materiality of the issues and their potential impact on the business and to the CIBC Group of Companies while presenting them in a clear, concise and professional manner.
• People and Assignment Leadership - You will coach your team members on their developmental needs and provide leadership during individual assignments as well as team opportunities

Who You Are

• You can demonstrate experience in having a comprehensive knowledge of auditing practices and accounting principles and processes, and strong knowledge with a focus on wealth management (Asset Management, Brokerage and Private Wealth Management) and the related regulatory environment in Canada.
• You’re a certified professional. Typically this knowledge is acquired through obtaining an auditing or accounting designations (e.g., CA, CMA, CFA, CPA, ACCA), a business degree (e.g., M.B.A.), in addition to business experience either in the banking and financial services industry or internal / external audit assurance and consulting services.
• You understand that success is in the details. You notice things that others don’t. Your critical thinking skills help to inform your decision making.
• You give meaning to data. You enjoy investigating complex problems, and making sense of information. You are confident using data analytics or artificial intelligence tools (including Excel) to identify areas for enhanced testing and in your ability to communicate detailed information in an impactful way.
• You're passionate about people. You find meaning in relationships, and surround yourself with a diverse network of partners. You build trust through respect and authenticity.
