Be the financial steward behind Alberta’s critical public infrastructure—administering over $14 billion in loans and guiding $1 billion in annual disbursements to municipalities, health, education, and airport authorities.
Reporting to the Director, the Senior Loans Officer leads the administration of the Loans to Local Authorities Program. You’ll ensure that capital financing requests comply with legislative requirements and policy guidelines, safeguard public funds, and support the province’s fiscal stability. As the primary liaison for borrowers, you’ll deliver expert guidance, manage complex financial documentation, and uphold the integrity of one of Alberta’s largest government loan portfolios.
You will review and assess loan applications—conducting detailed due diligence on borrowing limits, audited statements, collateral security, and regulatory parameters. You’ll prepare and manage loan budget forecasts, payment files, and external reporting for stakeholders such as Statistics Canada and the Auditor General. By flagging high-risk requests and recommending mitigation strategies, you’ll help shape prudent lending practices. You will also maintain stakeholder communications through the program website, evaluate lending policies for emerging risks, and apply professional judgment to resolve unique cases.
In this role, you’ll play an essential part in Alberta’s economic infrastructure, influencing the availability of capital for critical community projects. You’ll expand your expertise in public-sector lending, regulatory compliance, and risk management while collaborating with municipal finance officers, program staff, and legal counsel. You’ll enjoy a dynamic environment that values strategic thinking, offers substantial responsibility, and provides opportunities to drive program improvements and policy development.
The ideal candidate balances rigorous financial analysis with strong interpersonal skills—able to navigate complex legislative frameworks, interpret policy ambiguities, and build trust with diverse stakeholders. You thrive on managing high-stakes transactions under tight timelines, exercise sound judgment in edge-case scenarios, and proactively identify process enhancements to strengthen program integrity.
