Please review the following job description:
The Senior Client Engagement Manager’s (“SCEM”) primary roles are to build and develop solid and long-lasting client relationships and to recruit, hire, train, manage and retain Client Engagement Specialists (“CES”) for the Life Premium Finance business.
The SCEM solicits new and renewal financing opportunities and follows up on pending cases, working closely with Senior Management to drive business volume.
The SCEM evaluates loan opportunities, underwrites the credit risk, prepares collateral calculations, prices transactions and delivers executable loan commitments/loan documents for both new and renewal opportunities.
The credit decisioning process includes: interpreting borrower financial statements, reviewing policy illustrations and any policy attributes and the related impact to the deal. It is also critical that the SCEM understands the competition and their product offerings. The SCEM will make recommendations to senior management and/or underwriting when higher approval authority is needed on larger transactions.
Loan commitments are cooperatively developed with engagement from members of the LOB management team with higher credit authorities and/or LOB senior management and/or Truist Credit Administration. The SCEM analysis/recommendation as well as performance/size of client loan portfolio, and competitive factors are all heavily factored into credit decisioning.
The SCEM is client facing, responsible for building trust, and is accountable for establishing and maintaining relationships with clients. They are the first and primary go-to contact for the client and will work with the client throughout the process. Additionally, the SCEM must follow-up to secure quote and renewal opportunities while building/maintaining Client relationships over time.
Upon receipt of an executed loan document package, the SCEM must review the documents to ensure the submissions are compliant with the approval granted and have met any additional related approval conditions (if applicable). The SCEM reviews and approves the funding packet prepared by a CES and submits the funding packet for loan activation and funding.
The SCEM is responsible for a subset of the total portfolio assigned to them. This includes, amongst other things, monitoring collateral position, calculating cross-over date, generating required notices, surrendering policies, and liquidating collateral.
Working closely with the Portfolio Manager, the SCEM co-leads a regularly scheduled portfolio meeting to provide insight and recommendations on accounts that require action.
