Achieve Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Achieve is a leading digital personal finance company. We help everyday people move from struggling to thriving by providing innovative, personalized financial solutions. By leveraging proprietary data and analytics, our solutions are tailored for each step of our member's financial journey to include personal loans, home equity loans, debt consolidation, financial tools and education. Every day, we get to help our members move their finances forward with care, compassion, and empathetic touch. We put people first and treat them like humans, not account numbers.

We are seeking a meticulous and analytical Title Underwriter to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for evaluating risk and determining the insurability of real estate titles for residential and commercial transactions. Instead of evaluating a borrower's credit, you will dive deep into public records, deeds, maps, and legal documents to identify title defects, encumbrances, and liens. Your expertise will ensure our transactions clear smoothly and our policy liabilities are minimized.

Core Responsibilities

• Title Examination & Risk Assessment: Review and analyze title search reports, property deeds, plat maps, public records, and survey assessments to determine ownership, legal descriptions, and potential risks.
• Defect Identification: Evaluate and resolve title defects, including outstanding liens, judgments, unpaid taxes, easements, restrictions, fraud risks, and chain-of-title gaps.
• Underwriting Determinations: Establish requirements, exceptions, and conditions necessary for issuing clear title insurance commitments, binders, and final policies.
• Collaborative Problem Solving: Work closely with escrow officers, real estate attorneys, agents, and lenders to find creative, compliant solutions to clear "clouds on title" prior to closing.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all underwriting decisions comply with local, state, and federal insurance regulations, as well as corporate risk tolerances and guidelines.
