  • Process lifecycle servicing events, including interest payments, fee payments, principal repayments, rate resets, rollovers, amendments, extensions, and waivers
  • Reconcile agent bank notices against LoanIQ records and resolve discrepancies involving payment amounts, rates, or accrual periods
  • Monitor borrowing base certificates, compliance certificates, and covenant reporting received from agent banks
  • Perform administrative agent servicing functions, including payment distributions to lender syndicates and managing lender positions following syndications, assignments, participations, and commitment changes
  • Generate and distribute lender notices, including drawdowns, rate settings, paydowns, amendments, and waiver requests
  • Process SOFR rate resets, calculate all-in rates including margins and floors, and initiate rollover transactions
  • Ensure all transactions are completed within established SLAs and in accordance with operational procedures and risk controls
  • Escalate exceptions, fails, and reconciliation breaks promptly through appropriate channels

  • Demonstrated experience in at least two of the following areas: loan booking/deal setup, participant servicing, or agency servicing
  • Strong understanding of SOFR-based lending conventions, including lookback mechanics, compounding methods, and fallback provisions
  • Ability to interpret credit agreements, amendments, and agent notices to extract operational terms
  • Strong attention to detail in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment
