  • Track KPIs (e.g., post-closing SLAs for trailing docs/investor delivery, MERS data integrity, sub-servicer service levels). Deliver executive dashboards and board updates on performance, compliance, and portfolio health.
  • Administer subservicing agreement; collaborate with legal/compliance/vendor management.
  • Escalate complex issues; ensure fair servicing and continuity of contact.
  • Partner with Compliance, Risk, Internal Audit, Secondary Marketing, Finance, and Legal; contribute to policies and training.
  • Maintain compliance with and adhere to all state and federal regulations and Bank policies and procedures, including, but not limited to Bank Secrecy Act, SAR, CTR, FACT ACT, Community Reinvestment Act, EEO, and fair employment practices.
