• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines independently in a fast-paced environment

• Support preparation of credit memos and approval recommendations for default and program loans, including updated underwriting analysis
• Coordinate with legal counsel, internal teams, and external stakeholders as files move through enforcement or restructuring proceedings
• Track and flag emerging risks or deadlines across the portfolio so nothing falls through the cracks
