Mortgage Loan Processor

Mortgage Loan Processor

Premier Lending Alliance | Johnston, IA | In office | Full time Mon – Fri 8:00 am to 5:00 pm

About the Role

Most processing jobs hand you a piece of the loan. This one hands you the whole thing.

As a Mortgage Processor with us, you own each file from the moment it's submitted until the investor or credit union partner issues the "clear to close." No hand-offs mid-stream, no waiting on another department to move your file forward. You drive the loan, you clear the conditions, and in partnership with the loan originator, you get members to the closing table.

We process loans for credit union members across multiple credit union partners, which means variety, complexity, and the satisfaction of helping real people get into their homes. If you're the kind of processor who thrives on ownership, can juggle a full pipeline without dropping the ball, and remains calm when closing dates get tight - we want to talk to you.
