High Performance at Neo

Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo’s success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

The Role

We're looking for experienced Mortgage Underwriters. You’ll be responsible for reviewing documentation and underwriting deals from across the country.

• You successfully deliver mortgages from the application stage through to funding with the support of your Mortgage Coordinator
• You execute skilled and clear communication with Sales team, mortgage brokers, and internal /external partners to ensure their understanding of the mortgage process, expectations and documentation required
• You liaise with the Sales team, Coordinators, and third party brokers on status updates for active mortgage files
• You review all documents associated with mortgage files to ensure they meet Neo’s policies and guidelines
• You utilize a hands-on approach and problem-solving skills to make prudent decisions on complex mortgage files
• You work with management for support on complex files where standard lending solutions have been exhausted
• You develop subject matter expertise in the functionality and features of products, services, tools, technology, and Salesforce CRM capabilities
• You remain current on the latest industry trends to secure a competitive advantage

Who we are looking for

• You have 2+ years of underwriting experience in the Canadian mortgage industry
• You have a passion for growth and excellence, consistently striving to deliver the highest quality results in a startup environment
• You bring epic focus and energy, with a strong dedication to client service
• You have superior communication skills, both verbal and written
• You're highly organized with exceptional time management capabilities
