Loan Officer Assistant
Reports to: President Department: Sales Support / Front-End Operations Location: 9140 Arrowpoint Blvd STE 130 Employment Type: Full-Time
Role Overview
The Loan Officer Assistant plays a critical role in creating a clean, efficient bridge between Sales and Operations. This position is responsible for supporting a group of Loan Officers on the front end of the loan lifecycle, ensuring that pre-approvals and sold loans are properly documented, accurately structured, and fully scrubbed before being handed off to Processing.
This is not a processing role and not a junior position. The LOA operates as a frontline sales support partner whose work directly impacts cycle times, borrower experience, and operational efficiency.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced mortgage environment. Existing NMLS licensure a bonus, but not required.
