Responsibilities

Closing Execution: Work closely with CapCenter’s mortgage, title, and real estate teams to ensure that every closing is executed with precision and ensure every client leaves eager to refer CapCenter to friends and family. This role is for someone who takes pride in running an efficient, well-organized closing operation and who sees the closing table as an opportunity to represent the company at its best.
Operations Team Leadership: Manage the day-to-day workflow of closing operations, keeping timelines on track and processes running smoothly. Identify bottlenecks, propose improvements, and ensure that team operations reflect CapCenter’s mission of simplifying the homeownership experience and maintaining full transparency in every client interaction.
Lending Counsel: As in-house counsel embedded in CapCenter’s mortgage and closing operations, advise the production and closing teams on legal, title, and compliance requirements imposed by applicable law and agencies, keeping transactions compliant and well-structured from initiation through closing.
Transaction Quality Control: Serve as the quality control backstop across CapCenter’s title, loan production, closing, and realty teams—reviewing documentation, identifying risk, and ensuring every file meets company standards before closing.
