About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an experienced Loan Coordinator / Lender Liaison to manage active loan files and ensure they move efficiently from submission through closing.

You’ll serve as the primary coordination point between lenders, underwriters, and internal teams, maintaining clear visibility across every active loan while ensuring documentation, conditions, follow-ups, approvals, and deadlines remain on track.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Have successfully managed loans from submission through closing
• Understand lender and underwriting workflows
• Proactively follow up rather than waiting for reminders
• Can manage multiple active files without losing accuracy
• Stay organized when priorities and deadlines change quickly
• Communicate confidently with lenders, underwriters, and internal stakeholders
• Notice missing documentation and potential delays early
• Take ownership of keeping every loan moving forward
• Are comfortable escalating risks before they impact closing
• Maintain accurate records throughout the entire loan lifecycle

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You may start your day by reviewing every active loan to identify new lender updates, outstanding conditions, missing documentation, and approaching deadlines.

Throughout the day, you’ll communicate with lenders and underwriters, follow up on outstanding conditions, coordinate documentation with internal teams, update loan statuses and CRM records, and track upcoming closing milestones.

You’ll also resolve or escalate potential bottlenecks and ensure loans approaching closing have their outstanding requirements completed.

In short: you keep every loan organized, every stakeholder informed, and every deadline moving toward a successful closing.

• Accurate and up-to-date loan status tracking
• Fast turnaround on lender and underwriting requests
