Job Description
Our Global Investment Banking group supports corporate, government and institutional clients with strategic advice, equity and debt fundraising, and corporate finance advisory services such as mergers and acquisitions. Our vision is to be the preferred capital markets banking partner to our clients, across multiple products and services.
The EIT team provides investment banking services to targeted clients in the upstream energy, energy services, infrastructure, renewable power, utility and midstream sectors. Our client-centric strategy incorporates M&A and other financial advisory services with full access to the capital markets (equity, debt and loan capital markets) as well as delivery of complex risk and hedging solutions. EIT manages a market leading platform from our offices in Calgary, Toronto, New York, Houston and London.
The role is based in Calgary and the primary sector focus is on upstream energy. The EIT team is committed to supporting CIBC’s clients as they navigate the energy transition from carbon-intensive fuels to sustainable solutions, and the impacts this transition will have on connected industries.

How You’ll Succeed
Associates on the EIT team will be expected to provide a broad range of analytical, research and presentation preparation support to all the professionals within the group.
