About the role
At CMHC, we don’t just underwrite mortgages, we help shape the future of housing in Canada. As the national housing agency and a leader in multi-unit mortgage loan insurance, we support the development of affordable, sustainable, and inclusive communities. Our underwriting decisions directly influence housing policy and enable access to financing for rental housing across the country.

Join the Insurance and Securitization team as a Multi-Unit Underwriter I, where you’ll be responsible for analyzing mortgage insurance applications for properties with 5 to 24 units. In this role, you’ll apply your analytical expertise to assess financial and property-related risks with each multi-unit mortgage loan insurance application, craft tailored recommendations and negotiate terms that align with our underwriting standards.

What you’ll do:

• Conduct detailed multi-residential risk assessments for mortgage insurance applications involving properties with 5 to 24 units, applying principles of commercial underwriting and complex deal structuring.
• Conduct in-depth analysis of program and product requirements, as well as financial, legal, property, market, borrower, and loan-level reviews.
• Apply sound judgment and decision-making practices that are factual and based on well-reasoned analysis to derive insurance risk recommendations, and mitigation options in line with CMHC's risk appetite.
• Exercise prudence and diligence to ensure compliance with all relevant internal policies and procedures applicable to the function.
• Maintain quality relationships with clients to understand their needs and objectives and explore opportunities.
• Collaborate effectively within a team to enhance service standards and improve turnaround times.
• Engage internal support functions such as legal services, policy and operations, and borrower analysis to seek clarification and concurrence in support of recommendations.

What you should have:

• An undergraduate degree in a relevant field related to real estate such as business administration, accounting, finance or commerce, or an equivalent combination of education and/or experience.
• A minimum of three (3) years of experience in real estate underwriting, financing, credit risk, or financial analysis. Commercial underwriting is an asset.
• Strong financial analysis skills, including the ability to interpret financial statements and borrower legal structures.
• Demonstrated analytical, problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• Strong oral and written communication skills in French, with the ability to clearly convey decisions and address objections.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build and maintain effective relationships with stakeholders.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage time effectively and perform under pressure in high-volume environments.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and a proactive approach to learning and development.
  

It would be great if you also had:

• Experience or knowledge in property management, real estate appraisal, property inspection, or real estate law is considered an asset.
  Relevant professional designations such as CFA, CPA, or certified appraiser are also considered an asset.
