• Evaluate when reuse of an existing flood determination is permitted and document the rationale.
• Track cases end-to-end with timely follow-ups, status accuracy, and audit-ready evidence capture.

• Serve as a subject matter escalation point for global partners on FEMA/flood workflow questions related to United States properties, including unusual collateral structures and complex property profiles.
• Provide quick-turn guidance on required information for compliance and strategic progress.
• Explain missing information and compliance needs in plain language, including what is needed, why it is needed, and what happens next.
• Draft and maintain templates for common commercial scenarios (such as multi-parcel collateral, phased projects, condominiums, mixed-use properties, and construction-to-permanent financing).
• Partner with Flood Compliance, Risk & Controls, and Operations leadership to manage exceptions or disputes, documenting outcomes and approvals as required.
• Identify and validate critical intake information to support accurate determinations (such as standardized addresses, parcel identifiers, and multi-property naming conventions).

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in commercial lending operations supporting United States real estate collateral (for example, originations, closing, collateral, servicing, credit execution, or compliance operations).
• Demonstrated understanding of commercial loan structures and common loan events (including renewals, extensions, modifications, and collateral substitutions).
• Ability to manage multiple cases concurrently with strong prioritization, follow-through, and documentation discipline.
• Ability to communicate requirements clearly in plain language to stakeholders with varying levels of subject matter familiarity.
• Strong attention to detail and quality control skills to identify mismatches and completeness issues in returned determinations.
• Sound judgment in escalation, exception handling, and documenting rationale in an audit-ready manner.
