Job Description

What is the opportunity?
As a Director with the Real Estate team, you will be responsible for business development and management of a portfolio of commercial real estate clients, with a primary focus on providing lending solutions for the hospitality, seniors housing, and self-storage sectors in Eastern Canada.
In this role, you will work directly with some of RBC's most highly-valued clients, structuring bilateral as well as large, complex syndicated facilities. You will act as a trusted strategic advisor, connecting clients with other RBC partners to meet their diverse commercial and personal financial needs.

Other responsibilities include maintaining your portfolio in valuable credit health, including proactively managing credit expiries, securities and reporting requirements.
