The Vice President, Capital Partnerships & Syndication is a hybrid role. Its primary function is to find, onboard, and grow new sources of capital for CSMC: institutional investors (credit unions, banks, pension funds, insurance companies, and other institutional lenders) and private investors (family offices, private lenders, and high-net-worth individuals). The role is based in Vancouver with a focus on Western Canada, and is encouraged to develop capital relationships across Canada. The role brings its own investor network to CSMC, takes over management of CSMC’s existing Western Canada investor relationships, and builds current relationships. It connects that network to CSMC deal flow through the syndication process: it presents term sheets and loan summaries to investors, secures investor approvals, and works alongside the East Coast and West Coast Syndicators to place loans. The role gives West Coast originators structuring and pricing feedback, and it holds a voting seat on the Internal Credit Committee (ICC).
