Job description

If you are a seasoned title professional who takes pride in doing things right, Valmer Land Title is the kind of place you have been looking for.

Valmer is one of Central Ohio's larger and more established title insurance agencies— a tight-knit team of approximately 30 associates who genuinely look out for one another. Leaders here don't just manage from a distance; they roll up their sleeves and work files right alongside the team. You will be recognized quickly when you perform, rewarded with real incentives like salary increases, bonuses, and additional vacation, and supported with a clear path to grow — including into management and sales leadership if that's your ambition.

We are seeking a Senior Escrow Officer for our Grove City office — someone who knows the title process inside and out, not just how to follow a software workflow. In this role, you will independently manage residential, commercial, and land development transactions from order intake through closing and final disbursement, while delivering an accurate, responsive, and outstanding closing experience for every client.

This is a fully on-site role (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) that requires professional business-casual attire — please note that jeans are not part of the dress code. Punctuality is a core expectation here; Valmer's leadership takes pride in a team that shows up ready and on time, every day.

This is a role where your expertise will be seen, valued, and rewarded from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Own title and escrow files from order intake through closing and disbursement, keeping each transaction accurate, organized, and on schedule.
• Enter and open orders; request title searches, surveys, and other required transaction documents.
• Review title commitments, identify requirements, coordinate title clearance, and independently resolve issues beyond software prompts or task lists.
• Partner with buyers, sellers, lenders, Realtors, attorneys, and other stakeholders to collect information, communicate updates, and move transactions forward.
• Prepare and review settlement statements, closing disclosures, closing figures, escrow documents, and complete closing packages.
• Coordinate final closing details, complete post-closing follow-up, disburse files, and manage the timely shipping of closed packages.
• Manage multiple transactions with typical 30- to 45-day timelines while pivoting quickly when urgent or last-minute closings arise.
• Answer incoming calls, provide responsive customer service, and support teammates across the Grove City and Circleville offices during high-volume periods.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on title insurance, escrow, or title processing experience required. Real estate experience alone does not satisfy this requirement.
• Ability to independently manage transactions from order intake through closing and disbursement.
• Knowledge of title commitments, title clearance, closing figures, settlement documents, and the full transaction lifecycle.
• Active notary commission or willingness to obtain one; certification costs will be reimbursed.
• Ability to work fully on-site; this search is hiring for both the Grove City and Circleville locations. Please indicate your preferred location when applying.

What Success Looks Like

• Demonstrates a growing command of Valmer's processes during the 90-day probationary period.
• Arrives on time and ready every day — punctuality is a genuine priority for Valmer's leadership and a key measure of success in this role. Consistently demonstrates accountability, adaptability, teamwork, and responsive customer care.
• Completes approximately one week of direct training, written instruction, and office-specific coaching, then applies that knowledge with increasing independence.

Benefits

• 15 days of PTO, prorated during the first year
• Health coverage with 50% of employee and family premiums paid by Valmer
• Company-supported HSA contributions
• 401(k) match each pay cycle
• Company-paid short-term disability and vision coverage
• Two company-paid life insurance policies

Valmer also recognizes strong performance through birthday recognition, holiday and potential mid-year bonuses, salary increases, additional vacation, and other rewards. Employees have real opportunities to grow within the organization — including advancement into management and sales leadership roles.
