Position Summary:

Responsible for supporting the execution and continuous enhancement of the company’s compliance testing program, with a primary focus on mortgage originations and servicing activities. This role will be conducting detailed loan-level testing to assess adherence to applicable federal and state regulatory requirements, internal policies, and control standards. The Analyst performs periodic and ad hoc testing across the full loan lifecycle, including origination, disclosure, and servicing processes, identifying control gaps, compliance risks, and potential consumer impact. Responsibilities include documenting test results, developing clear and actionable findings, and contributing to the preparation of reporting for management and governance forums.

• Performs detailed loan-level file reviews and/or data-driven testing to validate control effectiveness, identify compliance gaps, and assess potential consumer impact and regulatory risk across the full loan lifecycle.

• Contributes to the continuous improvement and scalability of the compliance testing program by identifying opportunities for process optimization, automation, and data-driven insights.
• Leverages data, reporting tools, and system inputs to support efficient testing execution, identify anomalies or trends, and improve the depth and accuracy of testing outcomes.
• Maintains ongoing regulatory awareness and exam readiness, ensuring testing practices, documentation, and outputs remain aligned with evolving regulatory expectations and industry standards.
