Client & Creditor Liaison (Bilingual - French)

**What This Role Involves**:
The Client & Creditor Liaison acts as an intermediary between our clients who are participating in a Debt Management Program (DMP), their Credit Counsellor, and their creditors.

You will manage a caseload of clients, assisting the onboarding process at the start of their program and working alongside them throughout the duration of their debt repayment journey. While sometimes this means following up and being an encouraging cheerleader when things are challenging, you also get to help celebrate their achievements, particularly once they successfully complete their debt repayment.

You will also work collaboratively with creditors, advocating for solutions that meet our clients’ needs throughout the term of the Debt Management Program. These interactions involve securing creditor participation in the Debt Management Program and reviewing and processing relevant financial documents.
