  • Promote awareness of ANTCO’s programs and services through outreach, events, and active participation in the business community.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of the local market and develop relationships with centres of influence to enhance visibility and opportunities.

Lending and Portfolio Management

  • Assess, structure, and prepare business credit applications, ensuring sound credit and risk management practices.
  • Provide both pre- and post-lending support, with a strong focus on aftercare through ongoing mentorship, business check-ins, site visits, and capacity-building workshops that help clients succeed beyond the loan.
  • Manage a portfolio of clients, ensuring timely follow-up, accurate documentation, and effective collaboration with internal teams.
  • Track portfolio performance, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to continuous process enhancement.
  • Client Service and Relationship Management

  • Deliver exceptional client service, maintaining a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and cultural awareness.
  • Build trust and long-term relationships by providing consistent, reliable, and community-centered support.
  • Compliance and Administration

  • Protect the confidentiality and security of client and organizational information at all times.
  • Apply sound judgment and discretion in decision-making, maintaining integrity in all business dealings.
  • Prepare and maintain accurate reports, records, and documentation to support internal and external reporting requirements.
  • Perform additional duties as required to support departmental and organizational priorities.
  • Requirements

  • 4–6 years of relevant experience and a post-secondary degree in a related field of study, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Experience working with Indigenous communities and businesses is a strong asset and highly valued in this role.

  • Willingness to participate in community and cultural events to support and strengthen relationships across the region.
  • Able to work remotely and travel throughout the Okanagan region to meet with clients and attend community engagements.
