Quality Control Analyst; Mortgage Loan Documentation – Loss Mitigation Operations - Hybrid

Position: Quality Control Analyst (Mortgage Loan Documentation – Loss Mitigation Operations) - Hybrid
Location: New York

** Overview:
** The Loss Mitigation Quality Control Analyst plays a critical role in M&T Bank’s end‑to‑end mortgage loan workout documentation lifecycle. This position ensures the accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance of all documents related to loss mitigation workouts – both before documents are sent to borrowers (Document Drafting QC) and after executed packages are returned (Incoming Mail QC). Candidates may be placed on either QC team depending on skills, experience, and business needs.

Both teams perform essential quality assurance work in a fast‑paced, detail‑driven environment where accuracy and independent decision‑making directly impact compliance, customer experience, and loan performance.
** Core Responsibilities (for both QC teams):
*** Perform quality control reviews on physical and digital loss mitigation documents using multiple systems and vendor platforms.
* Verify accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance of all forms, signatures, dates, notary blocks, and loan terms.
* Compare documents to internal systems of record to ensure data alignment.
* Identify, track, and document defects or inconsistencies; escalate issues in accordance with internal policies.
* Communicate findings to drafting specialists, processors, and third‑party vendors to ensure timely resolution of issues.
* Maintain detailed QC documentation to support audit readiness, reporting, and trend analysis.
* Support process improvement efforts to reduce error rates and improve workflow efficiency.
* Adhere to all company risk standards, regulatory requirements, and internal controls.
** Team Placement:
** Depending on your strengths and experience, you may be placed on either of the teams below. Both teams require a strong eye for detail, excellent judgment, and the ability to work with physical documents alongside multiple digital systems.
* ** Document Drafting Quality Control (Pre‑Execution QC)**:
Review vendor‑drafted workout documents for accuracy before they are sent to the borrower. Validate that documents reflect final underwriting decisions and meet federal/state requirements. Confirm all terms, calculations, and borrower information are correct. Approve document packages for vendor distribution to customers.
* ** Incoming Mail Quality Control (Post‑Execution QC)**:
Review completed borrower‑signed packages received from the Incoming Mail team. Check for proper execution, including signatures, notarizations, dates, state‑specific forms, and completeness. Ensure the system reflects accurate payment and loan information before forwarding to the System Updates team. Confirm that no deficiencies could cause rejection or delays in the workout process.
