They are a Crown corporation governed by a Board and responsible to Parliament through the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.

Our Mission:

We believe that housing can change the lives of people and communities throughout the country. This belief has been embedded into CMHC since they were founded to help returning war veterans find homes after World War II. Drawing from this legacy, our team works every day with a shared purpose; contributing to a well-functioning housing system to rise to the housing challenges of today and tomorrow.

Through our people, partnerships and programs delivered on behalf of the Government of Canada, we are rising to meet Canada's housing challenges and strive to ensure Canadians have access to what they deserve: a home they can afford that meets their needs.

  • Governance and Compliance: Implement security policies and frameworks aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, and other standards; ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Collaboration and Training: Promote security awareness and training across the organization and provide strategic guidance to stakeholders.
  • Partnerships and Visibility: Build relationships with regulatory bodies, industry peers, and law enforcement to enhance CMHC's security posture and influence industry standards.
Candidate Profile:

The ideal candidate is a seasoned security leader with a proven track record in risk management, cybersecurity, and emergency management.

They excel in strategic thinking, operational execution, and stakeholder engagement, leveraging a collaborative leadership style that fosters innovation, inclusivity, and accountability within high-performing teams.

With demonstrated success in identifying cyber vulnerabilities and implementing effective solutions, the candidate also possesses a strong understanding of business management principles and cybersecurity technologies.

The candidate also brings exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly and persuasively to senior stakeholders.

Qualifications:
  • Undergraduate degree in information security, IT, management information systems, or a related field.
  • At least 13 years in leadership roles within risk management, cybersecurity, and emergency management, including 5 years of staff management experience.
  • Proven ability to lead and communicate security and emergency strategies in large organizations.
