This is a remote position.
About the Opportunity
Our client is a growing and highly respected mortgage professional based in British Columbia, focused on delivering thoughtful financing solutions and an exceptional client experience across a wide range of lending scenarios.
With a strong foundation in residential lending and growing exposure to alternative, commercial, and development financing opportunities, the business continues to expand and is seeking a Mortgage Underwriter & Client Success Specialist to become a trusted extension of the team.
This is not a sales role.
Instead, this opportunity is ideal for an experienced mortgage professional who enjoys the operational side of the business - underwriting, fulfillment, client communication, lender coordination, problem solving, and relationship management.
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting clients from application through funding while helping deliver a seamless, professional, and highly personalized client experience.
This is a fully remote independent contractor position. While we welcome applications from across Canada, preference will be given to candidates located in British Columbia due to the highly collaborative nature of the role. Candidates outside British Columbia must be comfortable working primarily within Pacific Time business hours.
The Role
As the Mortgage Underwriter & Client Success Specialist, you will take ownership of mortgage files following the initial client consultation and support them through underwriting, submission, fulfillment, lender communication, and funding.
You will also act as a key point of contact for clients throughout the process, ensuring files move efficiently while maintaining a high level of communication, responsiveness, and care.
In addition to supporting active mortgage files, you will help maintain client relationships, support CRM activities, and contribute to the ongoing growth and organization of the business.
