Mortgage Underwriting Specialist
Our client is a rapidly growing mortgage lending company. They are seeking a Mortgage Underwriting Specialist to lead both strategic and operational oversight of third-party fulfillment providers. This individual will ensure efficient, compliant loan origination while continuously improving systems, workflows, and infrastructure to support scalable, high-quality operations. This role will play a critical part in shaping the future of the underwriting platform by developing workflows, standard operating procedures, service level agreements, and quality control frameworks.

They thrive in environments that value strong opinions, thoughtful debate, and continuous improvement.
