You will prepare and issue post-settlement notifications to members, instruct panel solicitors for newly approved mortgages, and manage all incoming requests via the Settlements & Variations Group mailbox within agreed timeframes. Additionally, you will be responsible for executing First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) applications and performing general ledger reconciliations.

The ideal candidate will have excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders.
