• Evaluate and triage dealer exceptions and appeals, resolving them within assigned authority or escalating them to the appropriate decision-maker.
• Partner with loan processors, lending leaders, underwriters, dealers, and members to resolve issues and move loan applications toward completion.
• Apply experience, discretion, and sound judgment when determining the appropriate course of action.
• Maintain clear written records of exceptions, appeals, actions taken, and final outcomes for tracking and analysis.

• Ability to investigate issues, gather relevant information, consider available options and risks, and make timely, well-supported decisions.
• Experience resolving disputes, escalations, or complex service issues while preserving productive business relationships.
• Ability to evaluate requests and determine when an issue can be resolved independently and when it requires escalation to another decision-maker.
• Exceptional dealer, member, or customer service skills, including professional and courteous communication in a high-pressure environment.
• Strong conflict-resolution skills with the ability to clarify concerns, reduce tension, consider multiple perspectives, and guide parties toward an appropriate resolution.
• Ability to maintain focus, professionalism, and productive relationships when facing time pressure, disagreement, ambiguity, or competing demands.
• Sound judgment and discretion when solving problems and making decisions independently.
• Strong organization and time-management skills with the ability to meet production, service, and quality expectations.
• Accurate documentation and data-entry skills, including the ability to compile and maintain information for tracking and analysis.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Adobe, and business or credit union systems.
