• Stakeholder Coordination: Partner with internal lines of business and external stakeholders (borrowers, agents, third-party providers, and GSEs) to provide expert guidance on insurance matters.
• Force Placement & Audit: Manage force-placed insurance processes when necessary and represent the department in both internal and external audits.
• Process Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to streamline workflows, increase internal controls, and improve departmental efficiency.

• Exceptional Communication: Strong professional correspondence skills and the ability to write technical justifications that are clear, persuasive, and concise.
• Accountability: A proven track record of working independently, managing a high-volume, and meeting deadlines.
