• Take end-to-end ownership of escalated issues, driving resolution across cross-functional partners including Underwriting, Credit, Pricing, and Operations.
• Establish clear action plans, timelines, and accountability, ensuring issues are progressed efficiently and resolved in a timely manner.
• Provide consistent, transparent, and aligned communication across Home Lending and Wealth Management stakeholders, including Financial Advisors and senior leadership.
• Deliver timely updates on escalation status, risks, and expected outcomes, managing expectations appropriately in complex or sensitive situations.
• Evaluate and elevate material risks to senior leadership, particularly where adverse credit decisions or operational breakdowns may impact key client relationships.
• Partner directly with senior leaders across Home Lending and Wealth Management to ensure alignment, visibility, and timely decision-making on high-impact issues.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of escalation frameworks, processes, and partnership models to enhance client experience and operational effectiveness.
