The Manager of Non-Model Quantitative Methods is accountable for supporting the Director, Model Governance in the following activities:

Own and evolve CIBC’s enterprise-wide governance framework for non-model quantitative tools (“Model Risk-Sensitive Applications” or MRSAs) — high-impact quantitative tools that fall outside the traditional model taxonomy but drive pricing, valuation, capital, liquidity, and stress-testing decisions, or support existing models with key upstream or downstream tasks. You will provide strategic direction and advice to application owners and technology stakeholders, interface with regulators, and ensure that all MRSAs meet or exceed internal policy requirements and external regulatory expectations (e.g., OSFI E-23, SR 11-7, OCC 2011-12).

2. Oversight of Validation & Independent Review
