What You’ll Be Doing
As a Director, AI Product Owner within the Advanced Analytics Delivery, Artificial Intelligence team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of our AI product portfolio. You will own the prioritization and sequencing of a diverse backlog of use cases across Commercial Banking, Wealth and Capital Markets, ensuring the team is consistently focused on the most impactful and scalable solutions for the bank. Your day-to-day will involve translating business opportunities into actionable product decisions, maintaining a dynamic roadmap, and driving the reusability of AI assets across lines of business. You’ll be the primary point of contact for stakeholders, communicating both capabilities and upcoming initiatives, and partnering with leadership to report on progress and strategic allocation. This role is not about project coordination—it’s about setting vision, defining success, and making the calls that empower delivery teams to execute with confidence.
At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed at the time of your interview.
