Senior Investor Suspense Analyst
About The Team
At Zillow Home Loans, we are building a smoother, more reliable mortgage experience from origination through post-closing. The Investor Suspense team plays an important role in that work by resolving post-closing issues that can delay loan purchase and impact the customer and investor experience.

As a Senior Investor Suspense Analyst, you will join a growing team that partners across mortgage operations to solve complex file issues, improve consistency, and help shape an evolving function. This is an opportunity for a highly skilled mortgage professional who brings strong technical judgment, thrives in ambiguity, and knows how to work across partners to solve difficult file-level issues. In this role, you will play a visible part in improving processes, supporting complex research and validation, and helping strengthen a critical function within Zillow Home Loans.

- Strong problem-solving skills, file judgment, and comfort operating in ambiguous, high-pressure situations
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to navigate sensitive situations and partner effectively across teams
- Strong attention to detail, risk awareness, and ownership in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment
- Comfort working across multiple systems, tools, and workflows, including Outlook, Word, Excel, Google Workspace equivalents, and mortgage-specific platforms
