Commercial Title Officer

Commercial Title Policy Specialist

Rockland County, NY (Chestnut Ridge) — onsite, with hours flex for the right candidate

$80,000 - $100,000 DOE

We're hiring an experienced Commercial Title Policy Specialist to join an established commercial policy department. This is a niche, technical seat — you'll own complex multi-state commercial files end-to-end, work directly with underwriters on high-liability approvals, and be the go-to point of contact for closing attorneys and clients on commercial deals.

If you live in commercial title policy work and want a senior role where your expertise actually gets used (not buried under generalist files), this is the seat.

Responsibilities:

Issue and review commercial title insurance policies, including multi-state portfolios and proformas

Handle Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac requirements and ensure full compliance on commercial transactions

Draft, review, and apply commercial endorsements across multiple jurisdictions

Work directly with underwriters to secure high-liability (HLI) approvals

Determine disposition of interests affecting title and resolve complex curative matters

Maintain and grow relationships with closing attorneys, lenders, and key client contacts

Serve as the internal subject matter expert on commercial policy questions

Qualifications:

Direct experience issuing commercial title insurance policies (not residential — this is a different animal)

Strong working knowledge of Fannie/Freddie requirements on commercial deals

Multi-state experience and confidence with state-specific endorsements

Track record of communicating directly with underwriters on HLI approvals

Experience handling portfolio and proforma work across multiple states

Reliable, detail-obsessed, and comfortable owning files independently

Nice to have

Existing relationships with closing attorneys in the NY/NJ/tri-state market

Experience with national lender clients

Bar admission or paralegal background (not required)

The setup

Onsite at the Chestnut Ridge office

Standard hours 9–5, but flexible scheduling available for candidates who bring strong experience to the table

Established department, stable book of business, real career runway in a specialized lane
