Managing Director​/CRE Liquidity & Deposit Solutions Market Lead

About the Role

The CRE Liquidity & Deposit Solutions Market Lead is a senior, client‑facing role within CIBC’s U.S. Commercial Real Estate platform. The position serves as the central subject matter expert and strategic connector across CIBC’s CRE deposit portfolio, working alongside Client Managers and Treasury Management Advisors to deepen depository relationships, develop new business in high‑value segments, and drive coordinated client solutions across internal partners.

• Lead prospecting and business development efforts targeting deposit‑intensive CRE segments, including 1031 Exchange, EB‑5, brokerage escrow providers, rental property management companies, and mortgage servicing companies.
• Protect, deepen, and expand CIBC’s depository relationships across the CRE portfolio, maintaining a proactive, portfolio‑wide view of client needs, competitive vulnerabilities, and untapped growth opportunities.
• Provide client‑specific context and subject matter expertise that enables CRE client‑facing teams to tailor deposit and treasury solutions effectively across credit structuring, interest‑rate sensitivities, and connectivity requirements.
• Gather and synthesize feedback from clients and prospects on CIBC’s product and technology capabilities relative to peers, and advocate internally for enhancements that unlock deposit growth.
• Conduct ongoing portfolio analysis to identify concentration risks, growth opportunities, and under‑penetrated segments, and deliver executive‑level recommendations to CRE senior leadership.

• 15+ years of client‑facing commercial banking experience, with a meaningful portion focused on deposit‑intensive CRE segments.
• Direct, client‑facing relationship management experience in one or more deposit‑intensive CRE segments such as 1031 Exchange, EB‑5, brokerage escrow, rental property management, or mortgage servicing.
• Demonstrated experience building or launching a specialty deposit practice, including ownership of program strategy, business development, and growth execution.
• Track record of deposit growth in environments where commercial deposit gathering was a primary performance metric.
• Ability to independently prospect, develop, and close new deposit relationships without reliance on an existing institutional client base.
• Working familiarity with Treasury Management products and client requirements, sufficient to engage credibly with clients and coordinate effectively with internal TM partners.
• Experience collaborating across multiple internal teams—including operations, product, treasury management, and credit—to deliver coordinated client solutions.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience. Completion of a recognized commercial banking or lending program is a plus.
• Professional proficiency in English required; bilingual capability is a plus.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned CRE banker who has managed large deposit relationships and built a CRE‑specific deposit practice. Desired attributes include entrepreneurial drive and ownership mentality, executive presence, and proactive risk anticipation.
