Manager, Risk

The Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation is a not-for-profit public agency of the Government of Alberta that guarantees deposits and provides risk-based regulatory oversight to enable a safe and sound credit union system in Alberta. Our primary roles include:

- Providing a 100% guarantee of deposits held with Alberta credit unions
- Regulating credit unions and enforcing the Credit Union Act
- Revising, advising and directing credit unions on sound business practices
- Monitoring credit union performance and implementing appropriate actions to improve performance and reduce risks
- Establishing individual credit union loan approval limits and providing an appropriate adjudication process for loans that exceed these limits

We invite qualified applicants to consider joining our team as a **Manager, Risk & Regulation.**

The Manager, Risk & Regulation (MRR) is the key day to day contact liaison between the Corporation and assigned credit unions regarding regulatory oversight. The MRR is primarily responsible for risk-based monitoring of assigned credit unions in accordance with the Corporation’s regulatory oversight framework to promote the safety and soundness of credit unions and the Alberta credit union system. This involves assessing and monitoring the quality of a credit union’s governance and risk management practices for each of the credit union’s significant activities and monitoring the liquidity, capital, and earnings positions/requirements of each credit union. In so doing, the MRR takes into consideration potential economic and/or environmental concerns that could impact not only the credit union but also the credit union system. The MRR is responsible to ensure assigned credit unions are complying with the Credit Union Act, Principal Regulations, Ministerial Regulations, Standards of Sound Business and Financial Practices, and directives and guidelines issued by the Corporation.
