Job description

Commercial Title Policy Specialist

Rockland County, NY (Chestnut Ridge) - onsite, with hours flex for the right candidate

$80,000 - $100,000 DOE

We're hiring an experienced Commercial Title Policy Specialist to join an established commercial policy department. This is a niche, technical seat - you'll own complex multi-state commercial files end-to-end, work directly with underwriters on high-liability approvals, and be the go-to point of contact for closing attorneys and clients on commercial deals.

If you live in commercial title policy work and want a senior role where your expertise actually gets used (not buried under generalist files), this is the seat.

Responsibilities:

• Issue and review commercial title insurance policies, including multi-state portfolios and proformas
• Handle Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac requirements and ensure full compliance on commercial transactions
• Draft, review, and apply commercial endorsements across multiple jurisdictions
• Work directly with underwriters to secure high-liability (HLI) approvals
• Determine disposition of interests affecting title and resolve complex curative matters
• Maintain and grow relationships with closing attorneys, lenders, and key client contacts
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on commercial policy questions

Qualifications:

• Direct experience issuing commercial title insurance policies (not residential - this is a different animal)
• Strong working knowledge of Fannie/Freddie requirements on commercial deals
• Multi-state experience and confidence with state-specific endorsements
• Track record of communicating directly with underwriters on HLI approvals
• Experience handling portfolio and proforma work across multiple states
• Reliable, detail-obsessed, and comfortable owning files independently

Nice to have

• Existing relationships with closing attorneys in the NY/NJ/tri-state market
• Experience with national lender clients
• Bar admission or paralegal background (not required)

The setup

• Onsite at the Chestnut Ridge office
• Standard hours 9-5, but flexible scheduling available for candidates who bring strong experience to the table
• Established department, stable book of business, real career runway in a specialized lane
