• Provide clear and timely communication to Account Executives, brokers, and internal staff regarding loan decisions, conditions, and guidelines.
• Render sound underwriting decisions with the ability to document and support risk assessments.
• Identify and elevate exceptions when warranted, balancing risk with business objectives.
• Stay current on Non-QM product updates, secondary market changes, compliance regulations, and industry best practices.
• Contribute to process improvements that enhance efficiency, service, and loan quality.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3–5 years of mortgage underwriting experience, with at least 2 years focused on Non-QM products.
• Deep knowledge of alternative documentation loan programs (Bank Statement, DSCR, P&L Only, 1099, ITIN, Asset Utilization, etc.).
• Proficiency in AUS systems (DU, LP)
• Strong understanding of federal, state, and investor compliance guidelines (ATR/QM, TRID, RESPA, TILA, HOEPA, HMDA, etc.).
• Exceptional attention to detail, critical thinking, and risk assessment skills.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven wholesale lending environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective collaboration with sales and operations teams.
• DE/LAPP/SAR designations a plus but not required.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives
• Growth opportunities in a dynamic, expanding Non-QM lending environment
• Supportive, team‑oriented culture with strong leadership and vision
