- Operator-level understanding of how transfers impact downstream servicing functions such as escrow, payment processing, loss mitigation, customer communications, and regulatory reporting.
- Product and systems-thinking mindset, with the ability to translate operational pain points and cross-system dependencies into scalable tools, workflows, or product requirements rather than manual workarounds.
- Track record of process improvement and proactive risk identification, anticipating transfer issues before they occur and redesigning processes to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
