Who- the Company :

A very stable and successful real estate finance company (mortgages, property management, real estate investments, etc.) that has been around for over 20 years. Approximately 25 people work at the company. SWIM has placed several people at this firm with very positive feedback.

What- the Role :

On behalf of our client, SWIM is looking for a new Administrator .

Qualified candidates will have at least 3 years of progressive administrative experience within a corporate environment. Experience working for a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC) is ideal, but far more important than that are the strengths and skills of the candidate- meticulous detail-orientation, organization, reliability, passion for high quality and accurate work, the curiosity to keep on top of new regulations and compliance requirements, etc. We are looking for people who are excellent communicators (verbal & written) and who love working closely with a tight-knit team.  Experience can be gained from a MIC, or also from a bank, credit union, law firm (especially if specializing in real estate law), wealth management firm, investment services firm, accounting firm, architecture firm, etc .- basically any company where there is important paperwork and documents flowing in and out of the firm on a daily basis.

We are seeking an Administrator who is adaptable and friendly. Strong computer skills (particularly using MS Office Suite) are required. Over the long term, the person in this role can develop into more and more senior capacities in the compliance and administration field and can also take on responsibilities spanning other areas of the business, not just the mortgage investment side.

Why :

This is a diverse administrative and compliance role that will enable you to work for an interesting, stable, and reputable organization. Great opportunity to really feel part of a tight-knit and friendly team.   Opportunity for long-term growth and to take on more and more complex responsibilities with time. SWIM has placed many happy people at this company over they years.

Where :

Located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, BC in a beautiful corporate office. Extremely transit-accessible. A BIG perk is that the company buys lunch for all employees every day- yum yum!

How Much :

Base salary is commensurate with experience, likely in the range of $55,000 to $75,000, perhaps with some wiggle room beyond if someone has very relevant work experience and skills.  Plus health benefits, paid vacation, relevant professional development support, and the aforementioned daily lunch program. Please discuss your total compensation expectations with SWIM.
