About the Opportunity
We are looking for a Mortgage Underwriter to join a growing Ontario-based mortgage team in a full-time, permanent remote position. We are open to candidates at both the intermediate and senior levels, with compensation reflecting experience, technical knowledge, and the ability to manage mortgage files independently.
This role is ideal for a highly organized and detail-oriented mortgage professional who enjoys the underwriting process and is comfortable managing files from the initial introduction call notes through underwriting, approval, and handoff to Fulfillment.
The successful candidate will play an important role in keeping mortgage files moving efficiently, communicating with clients and lenders, managing deadlines, and ensuring every file is accurate, complete, and positioned appropriately.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to become a trusted, long-term member of a close-knit team and continue developing their expertise in mortgage underwriting as the business grows.
We are specifically seeking a licensed mortgage professional whose career interests are focused on underwriting rather than building their own book of business as an active mortgage agent or broker. This is a dedicated underwriting position with an emphasis on file management, lender relationships, and operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities
- Review introduction-call notes and take ownership of assigned mortgage files.
- Underwrite new pre-approval applications and live mortgage deals.
- Review borrower documentation and assess files for completeness, accuracy, and qualification.
- Determine appropriate lender and product options based on the borrower's circumstances.
- Research lender guidelines and product requirements when needed.
- Identify outstanding documentation and requirements and proactively follow up.
