Executive Director, Technology Strategy, Business Effectiveness
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include: Possibly "Responsibilities" (What You’ll Be Doing + How You’ll Succeed?), "Qualifications" (Who You Are), "Benefits" (What CIBC Offers), "Pay" (salary range), "Schedule" (Weekly Hours 40). Also maybe "Skills" (list of skills). The posting includes a list of skills at end: "Skills Analytical Thinking, Analytics, Business, Business Effectiveness, Business Growth, Business Objectives, Communication, Customer Experience (CX), Data Strategies, Detail-Oriented, Leadership, People Management, Product Strategies, Strategic Plan, Strategic Technology Planning, Technology Strategies". That's a list; we can put under Skills section.
We need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities and how you'll succeed sections overlap; we can combine into Responsibilities. The "Who You Are" includes qualifications and personal attributes; we can put under Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract.
First, "What You’ll Be Doing": paragraphs describing role: support growth, ensure tech systems fit for purpose, scalable, aligned with business needs; collaborate with business stakeholders and partner with technology to develop and execute a technology roadmap that bridges business requirements with technological capabilities. Then subpoints: Business Planning and Management: help execute GCIB strategy, aligning technology initiatives to enable GCIB to achieve its mandate, goals, objectives; set strategic plans that align with GCIB’s overall vision. Relationship Management & Collaboration: build effective relationships with internal stakeholders to successfully execute initiatives and bring new clients and capabilities to market; communicate complex concepts clearly and elegantly, collaborating closely with business partners to understand their challenges by asking insightful questions and gathering necessary information; ability to demonstrate deep understanding of business problems will enable you to address any questions or concerns raised by partners, ensuring alignment and fostering productive collaboration.
Then "How You’ll Succeed": bullet list of actions (starting with "Partner with business leaders..." etc). That's a long list of responsibilities. We'll combine.
We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
under Responsibilities containing each bullet point (including the subpoints). Also we can include prose paragraphs before list? The rule: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can have a
summarizing the role, then a
for bullet list.
Similarly for Qualifications: we have paragraphs describing role (Executive Director - Product Strategy & Transformation...), then list of qualifications: Bachelor’s degree..., MBA..., 12+ years..., Demonstrated success..., Deep expertise..., Strong knowledge..., Proven ability..., Exceptional leadership..., Outstanding analytical..., Experience managing..., Personal Attributes: Strategic thinker..., Collaborative..., Results-oriented... Also location and work eligibility etc but those are boilerplate? We need to preserve substantive info: location (NY-New York, 300 Madison Ave Fl 8), Employment Type Regular, Weekly Hours 40. Those are schedule info. Also maybe "Skills" list.
Benefits: "CIBC offers a full range of benefits and programs to meet our employee’s needs; including Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings Account, Life Insurance, Disability, and Other Insurance Plans, Paid Time Off (including Sick Leave, Parental Leave, and Vacation), Holidays, and 401(k), in addition to other special perks reserved for our team members." Also earlier: "At CIBC, we offer a competitive total rewards package. This role has an expected salary range of $180,000 - $244,600 for the New York, NY market based on experience, qualifications, and location of the position. The successful candidate may be eligible to participate in the relevant business unit’s incentive compensation plan, which also may include a discretionary bonus component." Also "What CIBC Offers" section: includes competitive salary, incentive pay, banking benefits, a benefits program*, a vacation offering, wellbeing support, and MomentMakers, our social, points-based recognition program. Also spaces and technological toolkit, Purpose Day (paid day off). We need to capture benefits specifics.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation contact, legal eligibility, attribute-based assessment, etc. Remove those.
We also need to avoid duplication: The "What CIBC Offers" repeats some benefits; we can combine.
We need to decide sections: Possibly:
- Responsibilities (h3)
- Qualifications (h3)
- Benefits (h3)
- Pay (h3)

But we must only include sections if posting has real specific content. All have.
We need to ensure we don't create placeholder text. All content we include must be from posting.

The successful candidate will collaborate closely with business stakeholders and partner with technology to develop and execute a technology roadmap that bridges business requirements with technological capabilities."
