A mortgage closing manager oversees and directs the activities of a mortgage loan closing team. They are responsible for hiring, training, and leading closing department staff, overseeing day-to-day operations of the closing department, and ensuring the accuracy and compliance of post-closing mortgage files and documentation in accordance with investor lending guidelines and state and federal regulations. Mortgage closing managers generally work full time at financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, or title companies, but may also work for smaller firms that specialize in real estate or residential mortgage loan lending.
