About the Role

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Have successfully managed loans from submission through closing
• Understand lender and underwriting workflows
• Proactively follow up rather than waiting for reminders
• Can manage multiple active files without losing accuracy
• Stay organized when priorities and deadlines change quickly
• Communicate confidently with lenders, underwriters, and internal stakeholders
• Notice missing documentation and potential delays early
• Take ownership of keeping every loan moving forward
• Are comfortable escalating risks before they impact closing
• Maintain accurate records throughout the entire loan lifecycle

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You may start your day by reviewing every active loan to identify new lender updates, outstanding conditions, missing documentation, and approaching deadlines.

Throughout the day, you’ll communicate with lenders and underwriters, follow up on outstanding conditions, coordinate documentation with internal teams, update loan statuses and CRM records, and track upcoming closing milestones.

You’ll also resolve or escalate potential bottlenecks and ensure loans approaching closing have their outstanding requirements completed.

In short: you keep every loan organized, every stakeholder informed, and every deadline moving toward a successful closing.

Key Metrics for Success

• Loans progressing through the pipeline on schedule
• Reduced delays caused by missing documentation or follow-ups
• Accurate and up-to-date loan status tracking
• Fast turnaround on lender and underwriting requests
• Zero missed critical loan deadlines
• Complete and organized loan documentation
• Consistent stakeholder communication
• Reduced number of stalled loan files
• Improved loan cycle times and closing efficiency

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct ownership of active loan pipelines
• High visibility across lending and real estate operations
• Opportunity to work directly with lenders, underwriters, and internal stakeholders
• Hands-on exposure to the complete loan lifecycle
• Opportunity to develop expertise in:
• Mortgage Operations
• Investment-Property Lending
• DSCR / Non-QM Financing
• Real Estate Operations
• Fully remote working environment
• Career growth opportunities into:
• Senior Loan Coordinator
• Loan Processor
• Mortgage Operations Manager
• Lending Operations Manager
