• External Representation: Represent Bankrate in conversations with lender partners and regulators.
• AI Productivity: Utilize enterprise licenses for Gemini, Claude, etc. to scale your productivity, automate monitoring, and streamline document management.

What We’re Looking For:

• Underwriting Expertise: A minimum of 2+ years of recent verifiable experience in the credit analysis and/or underwriting of residential mortgage loans. You must be able to demonstrate a technical background in evaluating borrower income, credit risk, and collateral.
