· Maintain quality underwriting standards to minimize audit findings and repurchase risk.

· Stay informed on guideline, regulatory, and compliance changes, ensuring timely application in daily work.

Mentorship & Leadership Support

· Contribute to internal underwriting policy updates and procedural improvements.

· Professional judgment to handle confidential borrower information with integrity.

· Strong time management and organizational skills to meet volume and turn-time goals. Education/Experience Requirements

· Minimum 5+ years recent FHA and VA residential mortgage underwriting experience.

· Active FHA Direct Endorsement (DE) and/or VA SAR/LAPP designation in good standing required.
