You will manage risks and day-to-day client relationships for medium to large commercial clients.

Risk management : You will utilize your risk management skills to ensure appropriate measures are put into place and risk assessment protocols and structures are implemented, while balancing risk and reward in line with CWB’s risk appetite.

Proactive nature. Although you pride yourself in being detail oriented and can see well into the weeds of problems, it is your knack for anticipating needs, opportunities, and solutions that sets you apart from your peers.

Effective communication . You can communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.  You have refined your negotiation, facilitation, influencing and conflict mitigation skills. “
