  • Annual individual performance bonus.
  • Group insurance coverage to support your well-being from day one.

About the role

Join the Multi-Unit Operations team, in the Senior Specialist, Multi-Unit Underwriter position. In this role, you will focus on the day-to-day underwriting of complex multi-unit mortgage loan insurance applications. You will lead risk management analysis, decisions and recommendations for approval for the most complex scenarios related to underwriting, file-specific risk mitigation, optimizing client service and achieving corporate objectives.

This is a temporary position with a duration 13 months.

What you’ll do

  • Negotiate and navigate through challenging politically sensitive issues, while adhering to all relevant policies and procedures.
  • Apply sound judgment and decision-making practices that are factual and based on complex analysis to derive recommendations and solutions in line with CMHC's risk appetite.
  • Base assessment on breadth of knowledge and experience rather than past transactions to provide unique risk mitigation recommendations.
  • Seek out additional expertise to form unique positions to address previously not encountered financial risk scenarios.
  • Collaborate with the Financial Institutions and Client Solutions teams to manage and maintain complex and sophisticated external client relationships.
  • What you should have

  • An undergraduate degree in a related field such as business, finance, or commerce.
  • A minimum of seven (7) years of experience in multi-unit underwriting.
  • Strong knowledge of procedures, policies, and regulations of risk management.
  • Strong knowledge of multi-unit mortgage loan insurance, lending, real estate (including non-housing related commercial), financial markets, and credit risk analysis.
  • Ability to take initiative and work independently to develop and utilize a network within CMHC.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills including presentation, persuasion, negotiation and influencing skills.
  • A commitment to demonstrating CMHC values.
  • It would be great if you also had

  • Successful completion of a professional association designation such as being Certified in Real Estate Finance (CRF), Certified Property Management (CPM), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), or Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (AACI).
  • Bilingualism (English and French).
  • To note
