About the role



Join the Multi-Unit Operations team as a Senior Specialist, Multi-Unit Underwriter. 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. You will structure solutions for the most complex multi-unit applications and identify risks likely uncommon to CMHC and provide creative solutions.

Please note that two vacancies are available: one with a duration of up to 12 months (English Essential - ZZZ), and one with a duration of up to 18-months (bilingual - CBC).

What you'll do

Provide expert opinion on the effective and efficient transactional delivery of multi-unit mortgage loan insurance, while adhering to the program's policies and operational procedures. Offer advice, support and alternative creative or innovative solutions to clients and stakeholders, including the communication of key decisions, the interpretation of policies and the response to inquiries relating to mortgage loan insurance. 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. The 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: In addition to your updated resume, please provide a cover letter (maximum one page) that includes reasons for your interest (i.e. why you are applying) and highlighting the technical and behavioural skills and experience you can bring to the team (i.e. your value proposition).
