• Ensure all loan documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant with internal policies, regulatory requirements, and Australian lending standards.

• Prepare and maintain accurate, comprehensive credit assessments for every application.

• Stay up to date with changes to regulatory requirements within the Australian non-bank lending sector.
