About The Position

We are seeking an individual who will play a critical role within Lakeview’s Early Buyout Opportunity (“EBO”) team. The Portfolio Finance Analyst will be a key contributor to portfolio operations at Lakeview by collaborating on the GNMA buyout strategy, concurrent warehouse financing and operational execution, agency repooling, data analytics, investor reporting, liquidity planning, modeling cash flows, and supporting MSR Portfolio Management. This individual is expected to work closely with the EBO operations and Mortgage Servicing Right (“MSR”) portfolio management teams in addition to collateral, treasury, subservicing oversight, and external counterparties. Our ideal candidate will be highly analytical with a strong background in finance and process optimization. This is a hybrid position, reporting to one of our office locations three days per week (Tuesday through Thursday). Office locations include Charlotte, NC; Coral Gables, FL; Denver, CO; and NYC. We offer a competitive salary range of $70,000 to $90,000, an annual bonus, 401(k) company match, and comprehensive medical benefits starting on day one. Compensation may vary based on experience, location, and other job-related factors. About Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC: Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC (“Lakeview”) is the largest owner of mortgage servicing rights in the country. What does that mean? We help more than 2.6 million customers per year manage the investment they’ve made in their homes. About MSR & EBO Portfolio Management: The Bayview Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSR”) Fund, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Lakeview Loan Servicing (“Lakeview”), is the largest of Bayview’s funds. Lakeview is the top servicer of agency MSRs in the United States, and actively sources new MSRs across its origination platform and bulk and co-issue MSR businesses. MSRs are essentially interest-only (“IO”) cash flow strips on underlying pools of mortgages. Like IOs on any other callable bond, MSRs are susceptible to prepayment and credit risk. The MSR owner is entitled to many different income and expense cash flows. On a single MSR asset, we model and monitor over 60 types of cash flows. Early Buyout Opportunities (“EBOs”) refer to the ability of a mortgage servicer – most commonly in government-insured pools like those guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (“GNMA”) – to repurchase delinquent loans out of a securitized pool once they meet specific criteria (typically 90+ days delinquent).
