The Canada Branch has offices in Montreal and Toronto providing financial services to Canadian Financial Institutions, Banks, Pension Funds & SSA and to large Canadian headquartered international corporations.

When you join CA-CIB Canada, you are joining a certified Great Place to Work employer, and a highly engaged workforce.

CA-CIB is seeking a Director-level Originator to join its International Trade & Transaction Banking (“ITB”) team in Toronto. ITB is one of CACIB's core global business lines, combining export finance, structured trade finance, working capital (receivables financing, supply chain finance), and transaction banking under a single integrated platform that serves multinational corporates, financial institutions, and public-sector entities across the Americas and beyond.

This is a senior, client-facing origination role responsible for generating, structuring, and executing trade and export finance mandates across CACIB's Canadian client base. The Director leverages deep product knowledge and relationship management expertise to serve as both an expert banker and an advisor who provides customized financing solutions to address clients' trade finance, working capital and strategic needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead origination of transactions across CACIB's corporate client base, covering investment-grade and select sub-investment-grade clients for Canadian corporates and foreign clients with Canadian operations.
• Develop and execute commercial plans, targeted pitches, and RFI/RFP responses designed to create C-suite level engagement; analyze clients' financial strategies, trade flows, working capital cycles, and supply chain structures to identify and present bespoke ITB solutions.
• Proactively prospect new clients in liaison with the Coverage team and deepen existing relationships to grow the team's pipeline of mandates and overall NBI contribution.

• Coordinate with CACIB's global ITB’s hubs in Paris, London, Hong Kong, Singapore etc… to ensure coherent multi-geography client coverage and to leverage the bank's full international footprint in cross-border mandates.
