The role is cross-trained on and supports the broader post-approval HELOC operations casework (closing, recording, booking, customer disputes, and vendor coordination) so the team can provide mutual coverage. A key attribute for this role is the ability to identify areas of efficiency improvement and automation across the risk and operations workflows, and to help define and implement those improvements over time.
