What you'll be doing

As part of CIBC’s team, you’ll support business change initiatives through thoughtful analysis, stakeholder engagement, and clear documentation of business needs. As a Senior Consultant, Business Systems Analysis, you’ll work closely with business partners to understand current-state challenges, identify gaps and opportunities, and define business requirements that support project and operational objectives. You’ll prepare clear, effective business documentation, facilitate discussions across stakeholder groups, and help ensure business objectives, scope, and requirements are well understood and aligned. You’ll provide expertise to project managers, coordinators, and directors by applying strong business analysis practices, business process knowledge, and sound judgment.
