About the role

Join the Housing Finance Policy Team where we accelerate housing affordability through evidence-based policy and research.

  • Provide expert and comprehensive advice, guidance and recommendations on the development and/or impact of innovative policies, programs, and/or stakeholder inquiries.
  • Conduct quantitative and qualitative research and analysis to identify and assess international and domestic housing finance policies and trends.
  • Lead or contribute to the development of presentations and briefing materials for senior management, including briefing notes as well as budget proposals and Treasury Board submissions.
  • Engage with and obtain input from internal and external groups on issues and opportunities related to housing finance policies and programs.
  • Represent CMHC and, where required, organize or lead meetings, committees, task force / working groups and consultative bodies to communicate corporate priorities and policy positions and influence outcomes.

What you should have:

  • A Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Economics with a demonstrated interest or experience in public policy/research/advocacy.
  • A minimum of three years' experience in quantitative analysis and policy advice and development (equivalent education/work experience may be considered).
  • Demonstrated knowledge of the housing finance / housing system.
  • Demonstrated critical thinking and analytical skills with an ability to develop policy options and assess housing finance systems and the expected outcomes of various policies.
  • The ability to collect and synthesize significant amounts of data and information and use it to identify strategic opportunities.
  • Experience engaging with internal and external stakeholders and working with them to influence policy outcomes.
  • Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects concurrently.

It would be great if you also had:

  • Deep understanding of the Canadian housing system and challenges relating to housing finance in Canada.
  • Deep understanding of the Multi-Unit and Homeowner's insurance lending space.
  • Demonstrated experience in at least one area of mortgage finance: mortgage securitization, market stability, mortgage loan insurance, homeowner or multi-unit lending.
