    • Stay up to date with changes in regulatory requirements, industry trends, and best practices in loan quality management and risk assessment.
    • Ensure the loan review process complies with internal policies and external regulatory requirements, such as the Dodd-Frank Act, RESPA, SR-2013, and FDIC regulations.
    • Assist in preparation for regulatory examinations and audits, ensuring timely submission of requested documentation and responses to inquiries.
  • Targeted Horizontal Reviews:
    • Design and lead focused horizontal reviews across different credit portfolios to evaluate cross-team consistency and performance.
    • Provide feedback and actionable insights to the CRR Manager and the VP, Loan Review, on areas of improvement and successes across teams.
    • Ensure horizontal reviews include a thorough analysis of key risk areas such as underwriting practices, collateral management, and loan monitoring.
  • Report Findings and Communicate Recommendations:
    • Summarize findings from QA and horizontal reviews, preparing clear, concise reports with actionable recommendations for improvement.
    • Communicate QA review outcomes to the CRR Manager and VP, Loan Review, ensuring timely resolution of identified issues.
    • Present recommendations and best practices to CRR teams and leadership, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Support Internal and External Audits:
    • Assist in preparing CRR for internal and external audits or regulatory exams, ensuring that all processes are in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
    • Collaborate with auditors and examiners to ensure findings are appropriately addressed and remediated.
    • Maintain detailed documentation of QA reviews and corrective actions taken, as required by audit and regulatory standards.

    • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior members of the CRR team in areas related to quality assurance and effective credit risk review processes.
  • Continuous Process Improvement:
    • Identify opportunities for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the CRR function through process optimization and automation.
    • Keep current on industry trends, emerging risks, and changes to regulatory requirements, integrating relevant insights into CRR's processes and practices.
