About the Role

  • The Senior Credit Underwriter is responsible for leading complex credit underwriting activities while serving as a trusted advisor to the Chief Lending Officer. This role provides expertise in Non-QM mortgage lending, evaluates complex borrower scenarios, structures credit solutions, and supports sound lending decisions that balance risk and business objectives.
  • In addition to underwriting, the role oversees underwriting teams, mentors junior underwriters, drives process improvements, and collaborates cross-functionally to improve credit quality, operational efficiency, and funded loan volume..

What You'll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities)

  • Act as the Chief Lending Officer's 'right hand' trusted advisor.
  • Perform early credit assessments ("shift-left") before processing is complete.

  • Recommend counteroffers that reduce risk while preserving profitability.
  • Identify compensating factors to strengthen borderline files.
  • Consult with Sales on structuring loans before submission.
  • Participate in daily pipeline review meetings.
  • Assist in developing underwriting guidelines and SOPs.
