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 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.
