Project Analyst

This role requires working from a U.S. Bank location three (3) or more days per week.

This role is responsible for reviewing condominium and cooperative housing projects to determine eligibility under investor, regulatory, and lending guidelines. The Project Analyst conducts detailed reviews of property-related documentation, including homeowner association (HOA) financial statements, board documents, insurance policies, litigation records, property inspection reports, and safety and health-related information. Working within established lending requirements, the incumbent evaluates projects against agency, investor, and portfolio guidelines, analyzes supporting documentation, requests additional information when needed, and issues project approval decisions. The role maintains accurate records within internal systems and communicates project outcomes and requirements to underwriting teams, sales partners, operations teams, risk partners, and other key stakeholders.
