  • Entity & Legal Documentation: Review articles, bylaws/operating agreements, partnership/LLC docs; confirm authorized signers, resolutions, BOI/KYC items.
  • Communication & Coordination: Provide concise status updates to borrowers, referral partners, and internal teams; schedule closings; escalate blockers with clear next steps.
  • Reporting & Quality: Maintain accurate pipeline reports; meet monthly goals for on-time closings and active loans in pipeline; minimize post-closing exceptions.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • Associate's degree or higher preferred (or equivalent experience).
  • 2–4+ years in loan processing/closing, documentation, or credit support; SBA experience strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of SBA 7(a)/504 processes, closing mechanics, and SOP fundamentals (or strong aptitude to learn quickly).
  • Proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); comfort with cloud doc management and e-signature workflows.
  • Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, organized communicator with strong problem-solving skills.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: Base salary $65,000 – $90,000, plus performance bonus.
