  • Order, review, and analyze credit reports, appraisals, market valuations, environmental assessments, title insurance, and flood determinations.
  • Coordinate with loan officers to keep loans moving efficiently and in compliance with regulations, from application through closing, including document preparation and review.
  • Monitor and maintain loan files to ensure insurance, financials, and other required documentation stay current.
  • Deliver exceptional service, guidance, and support to customers on bank products and services.

What You Bring

  • Strong organizational, time-management, and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, set priorities, and meet deadlines while adapting to changing priorities.
  • Self-motivated with sound judgment to assist in credit risk decisions.
