Director Post Closing - US Based Remote

Role Summary

The Director of Post Closing & Compliance Services, reporting to the Vice President of National Operations, serves as the enterprise leader responsible for architecting, scaling, and governing the company’s national post-closing service model. As a key member of the National Operations leadership team, this role drives strategic alignment across regions, ensures operational excellence, and leads the transformation of post‑closing from a limited support function into a comprehensive, end‑to‑end national service. 

The Director oversees Post Closing Supervisors, Specialists, the Recording team, and partners closely with the specialty accounting team responsible for underwriter remittance. This leader ensures that all post‑signature requirements—disbursements, 1099 production, recordings, trial balance oversight, uncashed check management, underwriting and state audit coordination, and licensing administration—are executed with consistency, accuracy, and operational discipline across the enterprise. The Director will also lead a strategic discovery and building process to evaluate the full landscape of shared services opportunities (outside of title and escrow support scope), synthesize into a national shared service model, and collaborate closely with field staff to execute.
