Mortgage Underwriting Trainer (Remote)

Neighbors Bank

6d•$90,000 - $105,000•Remote

About The Position

At Neighbors Bank, strong underwriting is the foundation of every successful mortgage. Behind every approved loan is a thoughtful risk assessment, clear communication, and an underwriter who understands both the guidelines and the real-world impact of their decisions. But great underwriting teams don’t build themselves. We’re looking for a Mortgage Underwriting Trainer who brings deep underwriting expertise and a genuine interest in helping others develop their skills. In this role, you’ll help shape the strength and consistency of the entire underwriting team – training new hires, coaching underwriters as they grow, and helping ensure guidelines are applied with clarity and confidence across the department. You’ll also stay connected to the work itself, stepping in to review loan files, support escalations, and provide underwriting coverage when needed. Your impact will extend beyond individual loan decisions. You’ll help shape how underwriters learn, improve, and apply guidelines across the organization. If you enjoy teaching complex concepts, helping others sharpen their skills, and contributing to a high-performing mortgage operation, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
