  • Desktop & Environment Support: Provide basic Windows environment troubleshooting, including local connectivity issues, peripheral setups, and browser/clearing cache optimization to ensure optimal Encompass performance.
  • Escalation Management: Document and escalate complex technical errors, system bugs, hardware failures, or advanced business rule requests to senior technical resources or management.
  • Basic Analytics Support: Assist users with navigating and generating standard reports, system dashboards, pipeline views, and eFolder views.

System Maintenance & Data Entry

  • Routine Administration: Assist with basic Encompass administrative functions under direction, such as standard user profile setups, routine template maintenance, and data verification.
  • Data Entry & Integrations: Input data and complete standardized maintenance tasks for third-party services and system tools.
  • Form Updates: Execute basic, routine modifications to existing system forms using the Form Builder tool as directed.
  • Compliance Administration: Assist with data-level updates required by regulatory and compliance adjustments.

Training & Engagement

 

  • Onboarding Assistance: Assist in delivering structured, foundational training programs to onboard new hires onto the Encompass platform and ensure their remote desktop environments are properly configured.
  • Feedback Gathering: Work directly with operational departments to understand user pain points and identify areas where workflow efficiency can be optimized.
  • Professional Growth: Actively work toward developing a more comprehensive, technical knowledge of the Encompass system, Windows enterprise environments, and underlying functionalities.

 

Experience & Qualifications

  • Experience: 1–2 years of experience in an IT helpdesk, desktop support, or mortgage operations role (such as processing, closing, or loan setup).
  • Technical Knowledge: Proven familiarity with Windows operating systems, remote desktop troubleshooting practices, and basic internet/connectivity troubleshooting.
