Description
Verus Mortgage Capital is looking for a Senior Scenario and Exception Underwriter to join our team. The ideal candidate can critically analyze complex loan scenarios and requests for exceptions to underwriting guidelines.

The exception underwriter is responsible for partnering with Sellers and internal staff to quickly determine viable scenarios, assist in structuring scenarios that align with criteria, and consider formal exceptions to guidelines. Thinking skills based on this determination, the underwriter will either approve or deny the scenario / exception as appropriate.
