- Provide real-time reporting and visibility to executive leadership regarding loan status, team performance, and emerging risks
- Maintain expertise in investor and agency guidelines; communicate and implement changes across Post Closing channels
- Triage escalations, identify root causes, and drive rapid resolution to prevent downstream delivery, insuring, or compliance risk
- Operate effectively across shifting priorities and hybrid workflows while maintaining strict regulatory and data integrity standards

- Deep understanding of delivery, purchase, and insuring readiness
- Proven success in managing both people and processes in a performance-critical role
