What you'll be doing

As part of CIBC’s team, the Business Systems Analyst supports process and operations automation initiatives that improve efficiency, strengthen controls, and enhance business performance. As a Business Systems Analyst, you’ll work closely with business and technology partners to assess current-state processes, identify manual or repetitive activities, and recommend automation solutions that improve consistency and streamline operations. You’ll help define system scope and objectives, document and validate requirements, support implementation, deliver training, and provide end-user and operational support. You’ll also use sound judgment in your day-to-day work to resolve issues within scope, refine processes after launch, and identify opportunities to scale automation across the business. Through your work, you’ll help ensure process changes are well understood, project governance standards are followed, and automation initiatives deliver meaningful value.

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.

How you'll succeed

Identify opportunities to refine or expand automation capabilities to deliver ongoing value.

• Collaboration and partnership - Act as a trusted partner to operations, technology, and project teams. Share subject matter expertise, support cross-functional problem-solving, and help teams navigate organizational, operational, and process-related change.
