  • Post-secondary education in business or finance, with an MBA or CFA preferred.
  • A minimum of 10 years multi-family insured/commercial mortgage experience, with 3-5 years of management experience.
  • Highly developed verbal and written communication skills to communicate with senior management, partners, and borrowers.
  • Advanced technical knowledge of commercial lending, financial statement analysis, and factors affecting the Canadian commercial lending environment.
  • A detailed understanding of macro factors affecting the CMHC-insured multi-family lending environment with the ability to anticipate and react accordingly.
  • Demonstrated service excellence within their field.
  • In-depth knowledge of AML/ATF regulations and Corporate/Legal documentation for commercial real estate in multiple jurisdictions across Canada.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills.

What We Offer

Our full-time permanent roles come with:

  • Competitive discretionary bonus
  • Market leading RRSP match program
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits
  • Employee Share Purchase Plan
  • Maternity/Parental top-up while you care for your little one
  • Generous vacation policy, personal days, and even a moving day
  • Virtual events to connect with your fellow colleagues
