Financial Underwriter

Role Overview

This is a hands-on analytical role centered on reviewing loan applications, assessing borrower risk and creditworthiness, and supporting the structuring of high-value financing transactions.

You will work closely with our Canada-based client, owning underwriting analysis, documentation review, and risk assessment to keep loan processing efficient and credit decisions sound. The work is well suited to a strong financial generalist; experience with insurance-backed lending is a plus, not a requirement.

• Support the structuring of loan terms, pricing, and risk-mitigation strategies
• Evaluate collateral as part of the credit file, including insurance-based assets where applicable (e.g., policy value and premium structures)
• Coordinate with Canada-based advisors, brokers, and internal teams
• Help ensure compliance with applicable Canadian lending standards and regulations
• Maintain organized records and support tracking of the loan pipeline and approvals
• Assist with portfolio monitoring and flag potential risk exposure

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in financial underwriting, credit analysis, or loan processing
• Strong ability to analyze financial statements, credit profiles, and lending structures
• High financial literacy and sound, well-reasoned credit judgment
