About The Position

Simplii Financial is a modern, customer-first organization, and our Product Managers are the people who make that real every day. As a Product Manager at Simplii, you are embedded in a squad where you contribute to meaningful product work across discovery, delivery, and iteration. You support the definition of what gets built and why, help maintain a healthy backlog, and work closely with designers, engineers, and analysts to move work forward with clarity and purpose. You are developing your product instincts and building the skills that will make you a confident, independent product practitioner. 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.

Requirements

3 to 5 years of experience in product management or a closely related field.
Demonstrated ability to contribute to product delivery in a cross-functional environment.
Start from the customer's perspective and keep it in view as the work evolves.
Ask who this is for and why it matters to them, and bring that question into the squad even when the work is deep in the details.
Ask questions, look at the data, and let what you find shape your thinking.
Read user stories carefully, ask about edge cases, and notice when something does not quite line up with the customer intent.
Stay close to your work, follow through on your commitments, and ask for help when you need it rather than letting things drift.
Show up prepared, communicate proactively, and contribute to a squad culture where people trust each other to do what they say they will do.
Bring your real self to work, and live our values - trust, teamwork, and accountability.
