  • Adhere to a scalable software-first approach, addressing operational workarounds only as a last resort and leading discussions on long-term solutions.
  • Ability to oversee numerous third-party fulfillment partners, ensuring high-quality, on-time processing while building deep relationships and driving consistent results.
  • Strong, principled opinions and a proactive approach to identifying and acting on opportunities to improve the product and team.

  • Work closely with underwriters and other stakeholders to restructure loans when necessary to meet client needs and ensure smooth processing.
  • Actively engage in resolving challenging files, providing direct support to address issues and expedite the processing to ensure timely and efficient loan closings.
  • Define and monitor productivity standards and performance goals and ensure that they are met on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
  • Proactively communicate trends in loan files and software usability.
  • Conduct second-level reviews, handle exceptions, and manage escalations to ensure quality control.
  • Act as a subject matter expert, aiding decision-making and driving product improvement.
  • Work closely with internal teams, partners, and engineering to drive product improvements and optimize the fulfillment infrastructure.
  • Provide technical and guideline training materials, recommend areas of improvement, and conduct ongoing training as needed.
  • Maintain a comprehensive understanding of mortgage processing regulations to ensure compliance.
Requirements
  • 10+ years of experience in loan processing and managing processing teams across diverse loan types, including Conventional, Jumbo, NON-QM, GOVT across purchase and refinance.
