Work hours: Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm (40 hours/week)
Calvert Home Mortgage (CHMIC) is a full-service alternative mortgage investment firm that supports homeowners, investors, and brokers to achieve their goals by seeing the person behind every mortgage. We are on a mission to be the most trusted lending solution in Canada by putting people first, focusing on their success, and always doing the right thing.
Simply put, our team is the best in the business. Our expertise and experience are unrivalled -but it’s our caring approach that really sets us apart.
Calvert’s longevity and continued success is due to our shared sense of purpose and the understanding that relationships are far more important than transactions. We were founded on the principle of “kitchen table lending” -taking the time to build trust by listening to our customers, understanding their unique needs and goals, educating them on their options, and finding a solution that’s right for them. That might sound obvious but, in our experience, it’s not the norm.
We are looking for a Mortgage Administration Manager to be a part of an exciting growth-focused company who truly cares about its employees. At Calvert Home Mortgage we are champions of a culture that creates a positive work environment, which will allow you to thrive and be a contributor to the long-term success of the company.
At Calvert Home Mortgage we offer competitive salaries, a bonus program, share ownership, extended health and dental benefits, a free on-site fitness facility, a location that avoids the downtown commute and free parking.
WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA?
As our Mortgage Administration Manager, you'll lead a talented team responsible for ensuring every mortgage transaction is completed accurately, efficiently, and with exceptional care throughout its entire lifecycle. You'll oversee the day-to-day operations of the Mortgage Administration department while developing your team, driving operational excellence, and continuously improving processes to support a growing business. Working closely with Underwriting, Valuations, Accounting & Finance, Business Development, and other departments, you'll help create a seamless experience for our customers, brokers, and partners.
