Consultant, Strategic Workforce Planning Analytics

What you'll be doing 

The Workforce Strategy & Transformation team is focused on reimagining the future of work to support CIBC’s long-term priorities and ensure we have the talent, skills, and capabilities needed for today and tomorrow. As a Consultant, Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) Analytics, reporting to the AVP, Workforce Strategy & Transformation, you'll play a key role in advancing strategic workforce planning and transformation initiatives through strong data management, analytics, visualization, and insight delivery. You'll lead the end-to-end SWP data and analytics process, helping maintain alignment between Workday workforce data and SWP datasets managed outside of Workday. You'll ensure data integrity by applying consistent definitions, mapping, assumptions, and outputs, while translating complex information into clear, meaningful insights for stakeholders. You'll also look beyond current processes to identify innovative, scalable tools and approaches that enhance enterprise-wide SWP data collection, reporting, and visualization. In addition, you'll support broader team priorities through ad hoc analysis, research, project coordination, executive-ready presentations, and contributions to workforce transformation strategy work. 

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. You’ll have the flexibility to manage your work activities within a hybrid work arrangement where you’ll spend 1-3 days per week on-site, while other days will be remote 

How you'll succeed

• Deliver meaningful insights - Translate workforce data into clear analysis, dashboards, and executive-ready reporting that support planning and decision-making. Use strong visualization and storytelling skills to make complex information relevant and actionable.
