About the role

Broker & MLO Support: Serve as the primary operational SME for external brokers, resolving daily inquiries across underwriting guidelines, income/property verification, notarization, and platform workflows. Root-Cause Diagnosis: Diagnose why a loan is stalled, denied, or modified by analyzing both lending criteria and backend system data (including underwriting JSONs and system logs) to clearly explain outcomes to brokers.

What they're looking for

  • Problem-Solving: A "systems thinker" who can distinguish between actual software bugs and user-error/technology-unsavviness
  • Communication: Exceptional structured communication skills, able to explain technical complexities to non-technical external brokers clearly and patiently
  • Technical Aptitude: Tech-savvy mindset with experience in modern digital lending platforms. Comfortable interpreting loan origination system data, reading system logs/JSONs to trace workflow issues, or utilizing basic data queries (SQL)
  • Resilience: Disciplined and resilient in a fast-paced environment where you may handle a high volume of high-stakes inquiries
  • Education: Bachelor's Degree
