Role Description:
The HELOC Operations Manager supervises and manages the end-to-end HELOC origination workflow, overseeing a team of HELOC Loan Processors and HELOC Loan Closers. This manager is responsible for pipeline integrity, regulatory compliance, team performance, working in conjunction with Underwriting, and member service quality from initial application through funding and post-closing. The Operations Manager is the escalation point for complex file issues, the primary conductor of daily workflow operations, and the keeper of compliance standards across both processing and closing functions.

Maintain a culture of quality, compliance, and member-centric service. Daily Operations & Workflow Management Monitor the daily HELOC pipeline — from new applications through funded loans — ensuring workload is balanced; priorities are clear, and files advance according to established timelines. Track key metrics for each team member including average turnaround time, first-submission quality rate, disclosure timing compliance, and pipeline accuracy. Identify and address individual or team performance gaps proactively. Manage escalations from team members, underwriting, closing counsel, and loan officers. Coordinate with underwriting, loan origination, and title/closing partners to remove blockers, expedite approvals, and resolve conflicts. Identify process bottlenecks, quality trends, and opportunities for improvement of workflow. Work with operations leadership to implement changes that enhance efficiency, compliance, or member experience. Quality Assurance & Compliance Oversight Conduct regular file audits on both processing and closing work — verifying documentation completeness, disclosure accuracy, regulatory compliance, and eFolder organization.

Keep training current with regulatory changes and process updates. Maintain an ongoing regulatory knowledge program. Mentoring, coaching, and career development planning with each team member, identifying advancement opportunities and capability gaps. Member & Stakeholder Communication Serve as the point of escalation for member inquiries, complaints, or service issues related to processing or closing delays. Partner with loan officers to provide regular pipeline updates, exception reporting, and recovery plans for any file at risk of timeline miss. Maintain regular communication with title companies, closing counsel, and other third-party vendors on behalf of the team.
