About the Role

We’re hiring a Mortgage Analyst on behalf of our mortgage services client. This position plays a key role in the loan lifecycle—ensuring accuracy, compliance, and readiness for closing.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a sharp eye for detail and a strong grasp of mortgage documentation processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare accurate, complete loan packages ready for underwriting and closing.
  • Analyze credit file components such as credit reports, title insurance, disclosures, and appraisals.
  • Build foundational knowledge of company loan products, processes, and compliance requirements.
  • Serve as a liaison for applicants, title companies, realtors, appraisers, and builders.
  • Contribute to team success through collaboration, problem-solving, and process improvement.
  • Take on additional duties as needed to support the broader operations team.

Who You Are

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
  • Detail-Driven: Strong organizational skills and a commitment to precision.
  • Communicator: Comfortable interacting across departments and with clients.

  • Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with credit reporting, mortgage regulations, and loan collateral review.
