Please review the following job description:
The Account Executive’s (AE) primary role is to build solid long-lasting client relationships over time through consistent delivery of competitive loan product offerings.
The AE must evaluate the loan opportunity, underwrite the credit risk (within their approval authority) and deliver executable loan commitments/agreements offering competitive and marketable rates and loan terms to Agent/Broker clients that meet the borrower’s needs.
The AE both decisions and delivers binding agreements to our clients.
As of November 2022, AE credit authority levels have been increased significantly (10-20x in exposure), empowering them to independently decision approximately 90% of all loans requested of AFCO Direct.
The credit decisioning process includes: interpreting borrower financial statements, reviewing policy binders/endorsements to evaluate policy attributes such as minimum earned provisions, loss responsiveness, policy earnings, etc. and its related impact on loan collateral/exposure, understanding the competition and their product offerings as compared to the AFCO Direct loan offering(s). Interest rate pricing, recommendations to upper management and/or underwriting when higher approval authority is needed on larger transactions.
Additionally, the AE is client facing, responsible for building trust, accountability and effective relations with AFCO clients through delivery of loan transactions. They are often the primary go-to contact the client will reach out to with any/all premium finance needs. This client-facing position largely performs all areas of responsibility independently yet also work in parallel with external Sales Teammates to develop long-lasting client relationships. The role has credit decision authority that may ramp up to $100k in exposure and $1 Million per transaction as experience is gained.
Loan commitments in excess of authority limits are cooperatively developed with engagement from Truist Credit Administration, members of the LOB management team with higher credit authorities and/or LOB senior management. The AE analysis/recommendation as well as performance/size of client loan portfolio, and competitive factors are all heavily factored into credit decisioning.
Through coordination with Sales Teammates, Underwriting and Management, the AE will provide competitive loan commitments and underwriting of premium finance loans to retail agents on a daily basis. Quotes must adhere to current pricing and credit parameters.
Additionally, the AE must follow-up to secure quote and renewal opportunities while building/maintaining Client relationships over time.
Upon receipt of an executed loan document package, the AE must review to ensure those submissions are compliant with the approval granted and have met any additional related approval conditions (if applicable). The AE solicits new and renewal financing opportunities and works closely with external Sales counterparts to drive business volume.
The AE provides reports to management on production, lost quotes, new business, and portfolio returns.
Largely independent and working most remote, the AE must be a self-starter - tracking territory performance versus established goals and work in a near paperless process flow where all underwriting, quoting and processing activity is completed electronically via a web-based environment.
**Fully Remote - Must be willing to work Mountain (MST) or Pacific (PST) Hours**
