Own the end-to-end target-state architecture for the new mortgage servicing platform, covering loan boarding, payment processing, escrow, investor reporting, and default servicing.
Lead platform evaluation (buy/build/hybrid) and fit-gap analysis against servicing volume, product mix, and investor/regulatory requirements.
Define the migration and cutover strategy (parallel run, phased boarding, or big-bang) balancing risk, cost, and business continuity.
Design the integration/API layer so the new platform is decoupled from origination, GL, investor accounting, and default systems for easier future upgrades.
Set data migration standards and reconciliation approach for legacy loan-level and escrow data.
Participate in architecture governance reviews and manage technical risk across vendors and internal teams.
Serve as the primary technical liaison between Servicing Operations, Compliance, the platform vendor, and IT delivery teams.
Requirements:
Require 10+ years in financial services architecture, with 4-5+ years in mortgage servicing/origination platforms and hands-on experience with at least one major system (MSP/ICE, Sagent, Black Knight, FICS, Finastra).
