What We Are Looking For

We need someone who can look at a scenario and say:

“This is the client's situation, these are the policy issues, these are the lenders that will work, and this is how I would structure the deal.”

You should be confident working with complex scenarios rather than simply following instructions.

You must also be comfortable picking up the phone and speaking with clients. This role involves client interaction, so strong communication skills are just as important as technical credit knowledge.

Strong attention to detail, good written English, problem-solving ability and the confidence to communicate with brokers, clients and lenders are essential.

• Australian mortgage-broking experience is mandatory.
