The US Anti-Money Laundering Transformation, Delivery, and Insights Team (US AML TDI) team is a forward-thinking group driving innovation in anti-money laundering through advanced analytics, technology, and strategic transformation. We enhance the bank’s capabilities in customer risk rating, reporting, and data governance. Our mission is to reduce risk, improve efficiency, and shape the future of AML across the industry.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Reporting to the Senior Director, US AML TDI, you will lead the delivery of accurate, timely, and well-governed AML metrics and reporting. You’ll partner with AML Advisory/FIU, Technology, and other TDI teams to define requirements, improve data quality controls, and build intuitive reporting and dashboards and executive-ready visualizations that enable decision-making and support regulatory and audit expectations.
- Own the AML reporting lifecycle (intake, definition, sourcing, calculation logic, QA/QC, distribution, retention), to support team, management, board, and regulatory reporting deliverables.
- Manage and execute AML Risk Assessment (AMLRA) data deliverables, including data sourcing, governance/definitions, QA/QC and reconciliations, refresh cadence management, and production of supporting reporting and SAS Viya Visualize/Explore outputs.
- Drive and manage strong data governance practices for AML reporting data (definitions, dictionaries, lineage, controls, evidence, and documentation) aligned to enterprise guidance and internal policies; document projects end-to-end and develop materials to explain findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Lead the design and delivery of dashboards, scorecards, and ad-hoc visual analytics primarily in SAS Viya (including Visualize and Explore), using a design-centric approach that drives clear, compelling storytelling and decision-ready insights.
- Establish and continuously improve data quality monitoring (completeness, validity, timeliness, reconciliation, reasonableness/trending), including escalation, root-cause coordination, and remediation tracking.
- Lead the construction and maintenance of backend reporting pipelines and analysis data models, partnering with Technology and vendors as needed; translate business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and test plans.
- Provide oversight of reporting methodology and controls to ensure outputs are consistent, repeatable, and defensible under audit/model risk/governance review.
- Build and manage reporting data models as a product, including development lifecycle/process documentation, change tracking, and ongoing updates.
- Manage and develop a team of analysts (and/or oversee matrixed resources), setting priorities, coaching technical skills, and ensuring high-quality execution.
- Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, including synthesizing complex data into clear narratives, commentary, and executive-ready materials.
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 3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote.
You’ll succeed by combining deep AML reporting knowledge with disciplined data governance and a strong product mindset—bringing structure to ambiguous requests, building trusted datasets, and delivering clear, compelling visualizations that help leaders act.
