Company Information

Canaccede Financial Group Ltd. (CFG) and its subsidiaries are Canadian industry leaders in specialized investment and financial services products. Through our acquisition, managing and servicing entity, Canaccede International Management Ltd., we have been working with industry leading lenders and financial institutions in the acquisition and servicing of performing, insolvent and distressed receivables since 2008, and we are the largest multi-asset acquirer in the Canadian market.

We operate with an analytically driven philosophy that is always responsive to our client’s individual needs and circumstances. Our business proposition is to maximize value from acquired receivables in a cost-effective manner and provide integrated consumer finance solutions through our operating, servicing, and technology platforms.

Adding to the momentum that Canaccede has built, in March 2020, Jefferson Capital, a leading purchaser and servicer of consumer charged-off and bankruptcy receivables in the United States and United Kingdom completed the strategic acquisition of Canaccede Financial Group Ltd.

Canaccede’s corporate culture is an open, forward-looking, and growth-oriented one, where motivated employees learn and grow. We have offices in Toronto and London, Ontario. This full-time contract position will be based out of our London office.

The successful candidate will initially work from home and there is potential for the position to be a permanent work from home opportunity.
