Underwriting Team Lead (Deal-Focused | Player-Coach)

Underwriting Team Lead (Deal-Focused | Player-Coach)

BluPrint Home Loans

BluPrint is building a different kind of mortgage company—one where underwriting is not a bottleneck, it’s a competitive advantage.

We are looking for an Underwriting Team Lead who knows how to win deals responsibly.

This role sits at the intersection of credit, speed, and sales. You will lead a team, make complex decisions, and partner directly with Loan Officers to structure loans that close.

What This Role Is Built For

You are not here to just approve or decline loans.

You are here to:

• Find a way to get loans approved within guidelines
• Make fast, confident credit decisions
• Help Loan Officers structure stronger deals upfront
• Turn underwriting into a reason we win—not lose

This is a player-coach role. You will lead a team while staying close to the work.

What You’ll Do

• Underwrite and review complex loans, including exceptions and edge scenarios
• Act as the go-to for structuring deals before and during underwriting
• Lead and develop a team of underwriters focused on speed, clarity, and solutions
• Partner directly with Loan Officers and production leaders to win business
• Drive faster decisions and reduce unnecessary touches in the file
• Create consistency in how credit decisions are communicated and executed
• Balance sound credit judgment with a solutions-oriented mindset

What Success Looks Like

• More loans approved because we structured them right the first time
• Faster decisions that give our Loan Officers a competitive edge
• Underwriters who think like problem solvers, not checklist processors
• Strong trust between sales and underwriting
• A pipeline that moves with urgency and precision

Who You Are

• An experienced underwriter (DE, SAR, or equivalent strongly preferred)
• Highly confident making complex credit decisions
• Known for finding solutions—not just identifying problems
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• A leader who develops people while staying in the details
• Strong communicator—you can translate credit into clear direction
• Competitive—you take pride in helping your team win

What Will Set You Apart

• You’ve been the person others go to when a deal is “hard but doable”
• You understand how sales thinks—and how to partner effectively
• You move quickly without sacrificing sound judgment
• You don’t hide behind guidelines—you know how to interpret them

What Doesn’t Work Here

• Slow, overly cautious decision-making
• Defaulting to “no” without exploring options
• Operating in silos away from sales
• Managing from a distance instead of leading in the work

Why BluPrint

• A seat at the table to shape how underwriting drives growth
• Direct partnership with leadership and top producers
• A high-performance culture built on accountability and results
• The opportunity to build something meaningful—and be rewarded for it

If you’re an underwriter who wants to lead, influence outcomes, and help win more deals, this is your seat.
