• Partner with Production Associates, Processing, Underwriting, Closing, and Funding teams to move loans efficiently through the process. 

• Maintain pipeline discipline, accurate system updates, and timely completion of compliance, disclosure, redisclosure, and regulatory requirements. 
• Deliver an exceptional borrower and retailer experience through clear communication, urgency, and ownership.
