Toronto, Canada Infrastructure Ontario Full time

Infrastructure Ontario (IO), an Ontario crown corporation, provides a wide range of services to support the Ontario government’s initiative to modernize and maximize the value of public infrastructure and realty. IO has been recognized domestically and internationally for the way it does business and the success it has had with its major projects, real estate services, infrastructure lending, commercial projects, and development mandate. IO delivers some of the most complex, ambitious commercial and land development solutions for the Province and continues to evolve and expand its capabilities to maximize its public impact and deliver on its vision of creating a connected, modern and competitive Ontario.

**Infrastructure Lending**

Our Loan Program has helped support more than $18 billion in local infrastructure investments across Ontario. It provides affordable, long-term financing to public sector clients, allowing them to modernize and renew their infrastructure.

We have helped hundreds of clients deliver thousands of community projects in all parts of the province. Our Loan Program has been used to revitalize roads and bridges, build new recreation centres and affordable housing units, and purchase equipment like fire trucks and energy-efficient streetlights.

We tailor our loans to meet the unique needs and complex development challenges of municipalities, housing providers, universities and other eligible public sector clients. All borrowers within each sector share the same affordable rates and benefits of the Loan Program regardless of their size or location.

Each loan is different but its impact is the same: efficient, healthier and more prosperous communities across Ontario.

- Contribute to weekly Lending Loan Pipeline and Credit Risk Team meetings, overseeing key report development.
- Provide comprehensive updates on loan portfolio status and performance to Senior Management, the Executive Committee, and the Board.
- Conduct iterative reviews of Financing Reports to ensure completeness and accuracy.
- Collaborate with Loan Operations and IT departments to correct reporting errors and enhance Board reporting accuracy.

- Experience with P3 or large complex capital projects (e.g. civil, social, transit) and delivery models considered a strong asset
- Strong interpersonal and oral/written/presentation skills and experience presenting to Executive Management level stakeholders
- Leadership skills to motivate team members, set expectations and standards

**What's in it for you**:
- Commitment to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture that promotes a sense of belonging and represents and reflects the needs of the communities we serve.
- A flexible, hybrid work approach that allows colleagues to find balance between their professional and personal lives and making the most of the benefits of working remotely and purpose-driven in-person collaboration opportunities.
- A defined contribution pension plan, where IO contributes the equivalent of 5% of a full-time employee’s annual salary, with an option for IO to match an additional 5% contribution made by the employee.
