Job description

At Northpointe Bank, we believe a career should empower you to grow, make a difference, and find purpose. We’re hiring a Warehouse Lending Underwriting Reviewer to review mortgage loan submissions for completeness, accuracy, and eligibility before funding authorization.

This is a second-level review role — not an initial underwriting position. There’s no new credit decisions — just your sharp eye for quality assurance, program eligibility, and risk management.

Training for this role will be in person in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Once training is complete, a fully remote schedule will be available.

What You’ll Do:

• Review Mortgage Purchase Program loan submissions for accuracy, completeness, and eligibility
• Validate borrower documentation against agency, mortgage insurance, and investor guidelines
• Evaluate credit, collateral, and compensating factors for alignment with secondary market standards
• Monitor client facility balances and depository accounts for compliance with program requirements
• Process operating-account wire requests and track client facility limits
• Stay current on agency, investor, regulatory, and industry requirements
• Maintain high standards for compliance, quality, accuracy, and customer service

What You Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• 2–4 years of mortgage underwriting, processing, or warehouse lending experience
• Experience in a similar loan review or underwriting position
• Strong knowledge of conforming, non-conforming, FHA, VA, Rural Development, and investor programs
• Familiarity with secondary-market underwriting standards and investor documentation
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Ability to evaluate complex loan files and manage competing deadlines
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and mortgage-related software
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach

Why Northpointe?

This is a fast-paced, detail-oriented role where your accuracy and decision-making directly impact loan funding success. You’ll join a collaborative team environment with opportunities to grow, while ensuring high-quality standards that protect the Bank and support our clients.
