The US Anti-Money Laundering Transformation, Delivery, and Insights team drives innovation in AML through advanced analytics, technology, and strategic transformation. The team strengthens customer risk rating, reporting, and data governance capabilities helping reduce risk, improving operational efficiency, and supporting the future state of AML across the bank.

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 reporting and risk assessment data. You will partner with AML Advisory, FIU, Technology, and other TDI teams to strengthen data quality and reporting controls and deliver intuitive dashboards and executive-ready insights that support decision-making, regulatory expectations, and audit readiness.
• Own the end-to-end AML reporting and Risk Assessment data lifecycle, including requirements intake, data sourcing and definitions, calculation logic, QA/QC, reconciliations, refresh management, distribution, and retention, using SAS Viya and related SAS tools to support management, board, and regulatory deliverables.
• Drive strong data governance and documentation practices for AML reporting data, including definitions, data dictionaries, lineage, controls, evidence, and project documentation aligned with enterprise guidance and internal policies. Develop materials that clearly explain methodologies, controls, and 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 development and ongoing management of backend reporting pipelines and analytical data models as governed products, including requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, test plans, lifecycle documentation, change tracking, and production updates, in partnership with Technology and vendors as needed.
• Ensure reporting methodologies, controls, and products remain consistent, repeatable, and reliable through reconciliations, approvals, release management, version control, production monitoring, and issue remediation, with outputs defensible during audits, regulatory exams, model risk reviews, and governance reviews.
• Lead and develop analysts and matrixed resources by setting priorities, coaching technical skills, and ensuring high-quality execution, while translating complex data into clear narratives and executive-ready materials for senior stakeholders.

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.
