Why this role mattersYou'll be Jess's right hand (and sometimes her left), making sure every file is on track, every detail is dialed in, and every client gets an exceptional experience.

- Review, prep, and package complete loan applications
- Spot potential issues early and solve them before they become problems
- Calculate income (yes, even the tricky self-employed stuff)
- Review credit and look for improvement opportunities when needed
- Lock loans when directed and ensure all compliance boxes are checked
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date files in Encompass
- Jump in on marketing and relationship-building efforts when needed
- Do all of the above while keeping your cool, staying organized, and having a little fun along the way
- Participates in Homeowners internal meetings and required trainings
- Maintains a professional image and demonstrates an understanding of and follows all Homeowners Policies and Procedures
- Other duties as assigned

- Comfort with Encompass, Optimal Blue, DU, LP, and Microsoft Office

- Full benefits, including health, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, and more
- The chance to work from home while staying connected to a tight-knit, top-performing team
- A front-row seat to learn from one of the best in the business
