Job Summary:

As a Securitization Officer, you’ll be part of a specialized team that plays a vital role in helping credit unions fund residential mortgages. This position focuses on the securitization and sale of mortgages through the Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB) programs, as well as our whole loan aggregation and acquisition program. You’ll work closely with credit union partners on large-dollar transactions, providing both expertise and exceptional client service.

What you will be doing:

In this role, you’ll take ownership of your responsibilities, act with urgency, and deliver an outstanding experience for our clients and partners. Some of your key responsibilities will include:

Program Knowledge & Client Service

• Build deep expertise in the MBS/CMB program requirements and the mortgage products eligible for securitization.
• Stay current on mortgage securitization policies, procedures, and system updates.
• Provide timely, accurate information to credit unions and internal partners, resolving issues with sound judgment and attention to detail.
• Act as a subject matter expert for process improvements and new initiatives.

Monthly Reporting & Reconciliation

• Prepare and reconcile monthly reports for credit unions, ensuring data accuracy and compliance.
• Process and monitor cash flows between credit unions, Central 1, and external partners.
• Meet strict deadlines for reporting to Computershare, CMHC, and other stakeholders.

Pool Formation & Administration

• Work with credit unions to determine pool requirements and ensure mortgage data integrity.
• Create and manage MBS pools, prepare insurer files, and coordinate with credit unions on results.
• Ensure all forms and payments are processed accurately and on time.

Cashflow Management

• Oversee the MBS P&I Trust Account, ensuring balances, wires, and journal entries are processed correctly and on schedule.
• Monitor custodial accounts to maintain required balances and compliance.

Whole Loan Program

• Review and process third-party mortgage purchases, ensuring compliance with documentation requirements.
• Complete reconciliations and provide regular reports to internal teams.

Other Reporting & Oversight

• Run delinquency, liquidation, and arrears reports and coordinate with credit unions as needed.
• Prepare executive and summary reports for leadership.
• Reconcile accounts and ensure accuracy across all reporting streams.

What you'll have:

• Post-secondary education in accounting, finance, or equivalent experience in a related field.
• At least 3 years of experience in financial administration and reporting.
• Familiarity with mortgage administration or securitization (experience with CMHC’s NHA MBS Program is a strong asset, but not required).
• Strong analytical and reconciliation skills, with a knack for spotting details others might miss.
• Excellent problem-solving and time management skills — you can stay organized and meet deadlines even when priorities shift quickly.
• The ability to interpret financial data and turn it into clear insights and recommendations.
• A solid understanding of accounting principles; exposure to treasury concepts is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills (including macros) and intermediate knowledge of Word.
• Great communication and interpersonal skills — you’ll work closely with credit unions, CMHC, Computershare, mortgage insurers, and teams across Central 1.
• A collaborative, “can-do” mindset — you thrive in a team environment and are adaptable to changing priorities.
• A high level of professionalism and discretion — you know how to handle sensitive information with confidentiality.
