Job Summary
Every approved loan begins as a pile of documents and questions, and a detail-oriented Mortgage Loan Processing Specialist will turn it into a clean submission. You will support a growing mortgage broking business, taking client scenarios from initial file handover through to loan submission: researching lender options, running servicing calculations, preparing loan recommendation summaries, and managing document collection. Hands-on lending or loan processing experience, the initiative to act without waiting for instructions, and clear written communication with clients and lenders make for the ideal candidate.
Key Responsibilities
- Review new client files, supporting documents, and scenario summaries provided by the broker
- Research and compare lender products to find the most suitable loan options for each client situation
- Run servicing and serviceability calculations, including buffer assessments, across shortlisted lenders
- Prepare clear written loan option summaries and recommendations for broker review before they go to the client
- Complete accurate data entry and lodge loan applications in the CRM system
- Collect required documents from clients via email, keeping the broker copied on all correspondence
- Follow up on outstanding documents and information to keep applications moving forward
- Support credit assessment and valuation requirements through to submission
- Maintain organized, up-to-date digital client files and application records
- Contribute ideas and suggest improvements to existing processes and workflows
Mandatory Skills
- At least 1 to 2 years of experience in loan processing, mortgage brokerage support, or lending operations
- Solid understanding of the loan process end to end: document collection, credit assessment, valuations, and submission
- Experience running servicing calculations and comparing lender products
- Ability to prepare written loan summaries and recommendations
- Confident CRM and system data entry, with a strong ability to learn new platforms quickly
- Excellent written English for professional client-facing email communication
- High attention to detail and accuracy when handling financial documents and figures
- Proactive and self-starting, able to take a file and run with it without waiting for step-by-step instructions
- Attentive to the fine print, steady in delivery, and at ease working without close direction
- Strong communication skills
Preferred Skills
- Experience supporting Australian mortgage brokers or familiarity with Australian lenders and lending policy
- Background in banking, financial services, or credit
- Familiarity with broker CRM platforms and lender servicing calculators
- Experience managing multiple active loan files simultaneously
- Comfort suggesting better ways of doing things and improving existing workflows
