About the Role
Bring your alternative lending expertise to Vault. You will be one of the senior voices on our Underwriting Team: deciding the tough files, helping set how they are assessed, and helping brokers get to a "yes" within sound credit policy.
Responsibilities
- Adjudicate alternative residential files within your authority limit, looking past the score to the full story of the borrower, income and property, and escalate with a clear rationale when needed.
- Contribute to underwriting guidelines, exception criteria and pricing recommendations as our business evolves.
- Structure solutions with brokers on complex files (self-employed, non-traditional income, credit challenges, new-to-Canada, equity take-out) and issue commitments with appropriate conditions.
- Review appraisals and income/employment documents for accuracy and legitimacy; apply KYC/AML requirements and flag fraud or compliance risk.
- Work with the Mortgage Fulfillment team to manage the pipeline and close deals on time.
- Share feedback and experience with colleagues to improve process and turnaround.
- Track the market, competitor offerings and trends, and recommend adjustments.
Requirements
- 5+ years of residential mortgage underwriting experience, including 3+ years in alternative or non-prime lending, and working knowledge of the Canadian mortgage market.
- Proven judgment on complex files: income analysis for self-employed and non-traditional borrowers, credit repair profiles, and collateral risk.
- Comfort making decisions with limited direction, and the credibility to explain them to brokers, colleagues and senior leadership.
- Strong written and verbal communication; precise documentation habits.
- Ability to work in a changing environment as our business grows and evolves.
- System testing knowledge
- Private lending experience
- Mortgage agent licensing
- Experience writing policy or training others
