Driven by rigorous compliance standards, operational efficiency, and high-touch service, the company delivers a seamless, transparent borrowing experience from initial discovery through to settlement and ongoing portfolio management.
OVERVIEW:

- Credit Assessment & Servicing Analysis: Complete end-to-end borrowing capacity calculations using Quickli and individual lender servicing calculators; analyze complex income structures (including self-employed financials, corporate trusts, and SMSFs) and benchmark against policy across major and non-major lenders.
- Loan Structuring & Scenario Presentation: Formulate and present the top 3 tailored lending solutions for broker sign-off, order upfront property valuations, and execute competitive pricing requests across panels.
- Broker Notes & Application Packaging: Draft comprehensive, end-to-end Broker Notes and credit compliance narratives; ensure all qualitative and quantitative risk factors are addressed before lodge.
- Lender & Pipeline Management: Liaise directly with lender credit assessors, credit coaches, and BDMs to overturn conditions, clarify policy nuances, and accelerate MIRs (More Information Required) through to formal unconditional approval.
- Collaborative Pipeline Support: Oversee and quality-check the Loan Processor’s input into ApplyOnline (AOL) and Mercury CRM; guide the file through unconditional approval, loan document signing, and settlement milestones.
- Quality Assurance & Compliance Oversight: Conduct thorough pre-submission audits against BID (Best Interests Duty) and responsible lending standards; collaborate with leadership to refine, document, and enforce internal compliance protocols and file checklists.
- Portfolio Operations & Repricing: Proactively review backbook portfolios during operational lulls to execute repricing requests, identify refinance opportunities, and protect client retention.
Requirements
- Direct Industry Experience: Minimum 2–3+ years of proven experience as a Credit Analyst or Senior Loan Writer supporting an Australian residential mortgage broking operation.
- Software Proficiency (Non-Negotiable): Advanced, hands-on working knowledge of Connective Mercury CRM and Quickli servicing software.
- Credit Policy Mastery: Deep, up-to-date working knowledge of Australian credit policies, NCCP regulations, and servicing methodologies across major banks, regional lenders, and non-bank specialists.
- Complex File Execution: Proven track record analyzing diverse and complex lending scenarios, including company and discretionary trusts, multi-entity self-employed structures, and SMSF lending.
- Communication & Professionalism: Flawless verbal and written business English, with the confidence to communicate directly with clients, credit assessors, and key stakeholders.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Commerce, or equivalent industry certifications (e.g., Cert IV or Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking).
Preferred
- Prior background in compliance management, file auditing, or credit coaching within an Australian brokerage or aggregator network.
- Experience formalizing SOPs, process workflows, and QA checklists for scaling mortgage operations.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring, peer-reviewing, or delegating administrative workflows to junior processors and support staff.
What You’ll Bring
- A High-Precision Credit Lens: An analytical, investigative approach to bank statements, tax returns, and financials that catches discrepancies before an assessor does.
- End-to-End Ownership: A proactive operational posture that independently drives deals forward rather than waiting on direction.

- Process-Driven Discipline: Strong organizational bandwidth capable of juggling multi-stage pipelines, tight SLA targets, and backbook retention campaigns without compromising accuracy.
