Reporting To: Exception and Scenario Manager
Compensation: $75,000 - $95,000 / year
Description
Verus Mortgage Capital is looking for a Senior Scenario and Exception Underwriter to join our team. The ideal candidate can critically analyze complex loan scenarios and requests for exceptions to underwriting guidelines. Experience in a correspondent loan acquisition environment and proven experience analyzing alternative income documentation including self-employed income analysis using bank statements, expense ratios, and P&L documentation, non-owner-occupied investment property income using debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), as well as standard income documentation is a must.

The exception underwriter is responsible for partnering with Sellers and internal staff to quickly determine viable scenarios, assist in structuring scenarios that align with criteria, and consider formal exceptions to guidelines. Thinking skills based on this determination, the underwriter will either approve or deny the scenario / exception as appropriate.
