With consistent production volume and recognized industry performance, the brokerage blends high standards with intelligent systems.

Our client is hiring a Senior Mortgage Underwriter to work remotely, from the prairies, on the lead broker’s client files.

Key Responsibilities

Underwrite 15+ files per month (applications and pre-approvals) through Expert, supported by admin and CRM automation to streamline updates and document collection.

Drive files from "live" to close - securing lender approvals, managing conditions, and proactively resolving issues to keep timelines on track.

Structure, position, and present files strategically to primarily A lenders.

Communicate clearly and professionally with clients, lenders, lawyers, and internal stakeholders - escalating risks or gaps early.

Deliver a 5-star client experience marked by responsiveness, accuracy, and calm confidence.

Requirements

10+ years in the mortgage industry with deep, end-to-end underwriting experience.

Advanced expertise in A lending (insured and uninsured), with general knowledge of sub-prime, B, and private lending channels.

Strong product knowledge, including rental offset calculations, debt consolidation structuring, and self-employed scenarios.

Demonstrated ability to own files independently from application through funding.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills - comfortable picking up the phone when needed.

Highly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and clean file flow.

High integrity and discretion in handling confidential client information.

Strong technical proficiency, including mortgage systems, CRM platforms, and fast, accurate documentation handling.

Licensing in SK or AB is an asset but not required.

Benefits

A living, evolving Client Journey Map provides clarity and structure from application to funding.

Administrative support manages document collection, e-signature packages, solicitor follow-up, and compliance uploads.

Clear systems are in place - allowing the Senior Underwriter to focus on strategy, lender communication, and execution rather than paperwork bottlenecks.

A high-trust environment where ownership, professionalism, and precision are valued.
