• Conduct detailed multi-residential risk assessments for mortgage insurance applications involving properties with 5 to 24 units, applying principles of commercial underwriting and complex deal structuring.
• Conduct in-depth analysis of program and product requirements, as well as financial, legal, property, market, borrower, and loan-level reviews.

• Exercise prudence and diligence to ensure compliance with all relevant internal policies and procedures applicable to the function.
• Maintain quality relationships with clients to understand their needs and objectives and explore opportunities.
• Collaborate effectively within a team to enhance service standards and improve turnaround times.
