How you’ll succeed

• Provide high-quality, frequent, and timely research and recommendations, with a focus on currency markets.
• Assess global macroeconomic, policy, and market developments, interpret complex and sometimes conflicting signals, and identify the risks and opportunities that matter most for portfolio positioning.
• Turn rigorous research into informed and relevant investment insight. Produce clear, actionable and decision-ready analysis that helps portfolio managers assess scenarios, develop informed views, implement intentional and purposeful risk positions, and add value to client portfolios.
• Communicate with clarity and conviction based upon informed opinions.
• Apply models with judgment. Use econometric and quantitative tools to test ideas, challenge assumptions, and support currency research. Use AI as appropriate to enhance workflow efficiency.
• Demonstrate sound judgment under uncertainty, balancing analytical rigour with responsiveness as market conditions evolve.
• Meet regulatory and compliance requirements. Comply with all applicable CIBC and line-of-business policies, standards, guidelines, and controls, and maintain eligibility for registration with the relevant securities commissions across Canada.

Who you are

• You bring strong market and macro experience. You have at least seven years of experience producing high-quality macroeconomic or market analysis within financial markets, with a strong understanding of global macro dynamics, central banking, currencies, and capital markets.
• You think like a strategist. You connect economic, policy, and market developments to investment implications, form independent views, and make well-supported recommendations in environments where information is incomplete and time matters.
• You use analytical tools effectively. You are proficient in quantitative and research tools such as Python and Power BI, and use models as part of a broader investment research process.
• You embrace innovation and AI. You are energized by emerging technologies and interested in applying AI to improve research depth, workflow efficiency, and communication.
• You communicate and influence well. You convey complex ideas clearly and succinctly, both in writing and verbally, adapt your message to different audiences, and contribute credibly to investment discussions.
• You demonstrate ownership and resilience. You take initiative, follow through on commitments, and deliver high-quality work under pressure, ambiguity, and limited guidance.
• You build strong relationships. You bring maturity, sound judgment, and strong interpersonal skills to a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
• You have strong academic credentials. You hold a master’s degree in economics, financial engineering, quantitative methods, or a related field. A CFA designation, or progress toward completion, is an asset.
