What You’ll Be Doing As part of CIBC’s Personal Lending team, you’ll support the Regulatory Programs group, which is responsible for regulatory compliance, policy maintenance, litigation, deficiency management, remediation, breach reporting, and control development for our personal mortgage and secured lending products. As a Senior Business Management Specialist, you’ll lead and coach multiple teams in the adoption of Agile and Kanban principles, helping to organize, report, and deliver complex initiatives. You’ll facilitate standups, retrospectives, and backlog refinement sessions, and mentor team members on best practices to help drive transformation to Agile ways of working.
