You'll manage collateral data within the Loan Financing Platform (LFP), including borrowing bases, to support effective risk management across GCF’s credit asset exposures. Your technical expertise will enable you to respond to queries and generate accurate, timely reports, while also contributing to the build-out of the desk’s technology platform and tools. You’ll be a valued member of a close-knit deal team providing financing facilities to marquee private lenders, large asset managers, and sophisticated pension clients. In this role, you’ll collaborate with Clients, Sales/Distribution, Risk Management, Treasury, and other stakeholders during the screening process for new financing opportunities and respond to information requests. As part of a global, dynamic, and production-focused team based in Toronto, New York, and London, you’ll help drive innovation and excellence in credit asset financing.

Please note, we are open to hiring at either Associate or Director level based on skills and experience.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. To successfully perform the work, you’ll be on-site full-time.
