Job: Lead Escrow Officer

Job Description

Job Type: Full time, Salaried

Wage: $65,000-$80,000/yr.

Location: Buena Vista, CO.

Job Description:

"Proudly independent agency for 20+ years. Architecting the next phase. Seeking brave soul for coming journey."

Are you an experienced escrow professional looking to shake things up? Do you know your craft but hate the current environment? There's another way... join an independent!

Mountain West Ensemble is seeking a seasoned escrow officer to lead our efforts in Buena Vista. This role combines mastery-level escrow execution with the opportunity to build and shape our field-based operation in existing and future markets.

The Role:

You'll serve as the lead escrow officer for a local office, handling both routine and complex transactions while simultaneously developing the systems and standards that will define our service model. This position requires someone who can execute flawlessly on day one while contributing to the strategic growth of the business.

Core Responsibilities:

• Expert Escrow Execution: Handle all transaction types and complexities – from routine closings to the challenging files that require creative solutions
• Service Excellence: Expand on our long-standing reputation as the premier independent alternative in the region
• Team Development: Build and mentor a team of closers and scale the processing function
• Process Innovation: Develop efficient workflows and standards for scalable operations
• Quality Leadership: Set the standard for accuracy, communication, and client service

What We're Looking For:

Experience Requirements:

• 4+ years of comprehensive escrow experience across all transaction types
• Proven ability to handle complex files independently
• Experience with process improvement or team leadership
• Prior experience in dynamic, fast-moving independent or start-up environment preferred

Professional Qualities:

• Problem-solving mindset: Comfortable finding solutions when standard procedures don't apply
• Independent operator: Can work effectively with minimal supervision while contributing to team goals
• Growth-oriented: Interested in expanding responsibilities and building something meaningful
• Client-focused: Committed to exceptional service and clear communication
• Adaptable: Thrives in environments that require flexibility and innovation

Required Qualifications:

• Colorado Title Producer's license and Notary Public Certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days)
• Comprehensive knowledge of escrow procedures, file balancing, and best practices
• Strong technology skills and ability to learn new systems quickly
• Thorough understanding of regulatory compliance including Fair Housing, RESPA, escrow laws, and industry regulations
• Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities

What Makes This Different:

This isn't a typical corporate escrow position. You'll have direct input on how we operate, autonomy to make decisions, and the opportunity to build something lasting. We're not asking you to develop business or chase clients - we need you focused on operational excellence and building the best escrow operation in the region. Independent title companies offer a level of service and responsiveness that large corporations simply can't match, and you'll be central to proving that model works.

As our regional operation grows, so will your role. Start as our lead escrow officer, evolve into team leadership, and help us scale this approach to new markets.

What We Offer:

Compensation & Benefits:

• Salary: $65,000 - $80,000 (based on experience)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance (generously subsidized by employer)
• SimpleIRA with company match
• 20 days PTO and 10+ paid holidays (!)
• Professional development opportunities

Work Environment:

• In-office role with occasional travel to other company offices
• Monday-Friday schedule with flexibility for complex closings
• Directly reporting to company leadership for decision-making
• Full desk set-up and modern software stack to remove distractions from you doing your best work
