Reporting to the Director of Operational Resilience within the Operational Risk Management, this role will provide support in 2nd LOD review and challenge over the governance and execution of the Operational Resilience Program for CIBS’s Combined U.S. Operations (CUSO) in accordance with US Regulations, internal policies and industry practices.

The Operational Resilience Program sits within CIBC’s Technology, Infrastructure and Innovation (TI&I) group.  The mandate of the Program is to identify and protect CIBC from threats and potential failures, respond and adapt to, as well as recover and learn from disruptive events to minimize their impact on the delivery of critical services through disruption. This involves effectively managing operational risk through a deep understanding of the end-to-end delivery of CIBC’s critical services, including the underlying technology, third parties, premises, people and data that support that service.  The resilience posture of these critical services is further informed through scenario stress testing to identify points of failures, gaps and areas requiring enhancements.

The 2nd LOD Operational Resilience team, as part of the Operational Risk Management function, supports the Program mandate by ensuring the maintenance, continued enhancement, and evolution of the Operational Resilience risk framework.  Core responsibilities also include monitoring, assessment, and independent challenge of program execution, and providing consultative support for all 1st LOD activities.  The 2nd LOD Operational Resilience team also provides oversight for the Business Continuity Management program for the CUSO.
