## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Execute loan-level quality reviews across secured lending originations, assessing documentation completeness, underwriting accuracy, eligibility adherence, collateral quality, and other salability criteria.

- Maintain recurring asset quality and salability risk reporting packages for bank partners, Capital Markets, and internal leaders, including data pulls, analysis, formatting, and quality checks.
- Execute first-line model performance tracking — maintaining production model tracking tools, logging override and exception trends, tracking version changes, and independently flagging patterns that may indicate performance degradation or out-of-bounds behavior for escalation.
- Maintain issue logs, defect trackers, remediation updates, and documentation libraries so records stay current, organized, and ready for bank partner or regulatory review.
- Drive governance and exam readiness deliverables — independently assembling evidence packages, populating reporting templates, and coordinating materials for bank partner reviews, committee deliverables, and regulatory examinations.

## Minimum Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in financial services, credit operations, quality control, risk management, compliance, model monitoring, loan review, credit analysis, or a related analytical function.
- Experience applying established review criteria to loan-level data, credit files, origination documentation, collateral documentation, or lending operations outputs.
- Experience analyzing portfolio performance, asset quality indicators, credit policy exceptions, loan defects, remediation items, or operational risk trends.
- Experience using Excel, Google Sheets, SQL, business intelligence tools, reporting tools, or similar systems to organize, analyze, and quality-check structured data.
- Experience documenting findings, exceptions, issue status, remediation progress, or review results for risk, compliance, credit, operations, audit, bank partner, or regulatory stakeholders.

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with loan file review, quality control, pre-sale quality control, investor delivery, or loan salability review in mortgage, home equity, auto, or other secured lending products.
- Knowledge of secured lending and secondary-market quality expectations, including investor eligibility standards, collateral documentation, lien perfection, representations and warranties, defect remediation, trailing performance thresholds, or repurchase risk.
- Experience tracking and interpreting asset quality or portfolio performance indicators such as early payment default, delinquency, prepayment, loss severity, non-performing loan trends, or credit policy exception rates.
- Knowledge of model monitoring concepts, model performance reporting, validation outputs, override and exception tracking, or model governance documentation in a lending or fintech environment.
- Skilled in producing clear review summaries, governance materials, issue logs, reporting packages, and documentation that can support bank partner or regulatory review.
