Loan Writer / Associate Broker
About Ark Lending
Ark Lending Solutions is a growing mortgage and finance brokerage based in Sutherland Shire, NSW. We provide tailored lending solutions across residential, investment, commercial, construction and SMSF finance.
Our clients range from first home buyers and property investors through to self-employed borrowers, business owners and clients with more complex lending structures. This gives our team exposure to a broad range of credit scenarios, including refinances, purchases, equity releases, trust structures and portfolio lending.
With a growing client base and consistent deal flow, we are looking for an experienced Loan Writer / Associate Broker who is confident dealing directly with clients, capable of taking ownership of applications and genuinely interested in progressing into a mortgage broker role.
About the Role
This is a client-facing role responsible for managing loan applications from initial assessment through to settlement.
You will work directly with clients to gather information, review supporting documents, explain the lending process, manage expectations and keep applications progressing. You will also work closely with the broking team to structure deals, assess servicing, review lender policy and prepare applications for submission.
This is not a purely administrative position. We are looking for someone who can communicate confidently with clients, identify issues early and take responsibility for moving each application forward.
For the right person, this role provides a genuine pathway into broking. As your experience develops, you will become more involved in client meetings, loan strategy, lender recommendations and presenting lending options, with the goal of progressing into managing your own clients.
