Role Overview
This isn't a basic loan processing position; it is a true end-to-end file ownership role designed to support complex residential, commercial, investment, SMSF, and specialist lending scenarios. As a Senior Parabroker, you will be acting as a trusted extension of the Director and lead brokers, and playing a critical role in solving challenging credit pathways, driving client applications to settlement, and expanding broker capacity across a high-performance, entrepreneurial business.
Responsibilities:
End-to-End File Ownership & Strategy

- Prepare complete, submission-ready applications complete with clear, well-supported lender rationale to maximize approval outcomes.
- Monitor turnaround times proactively and manage every stage of the pipeline to keep applications moving efficiently.
Credit & Specialist Lending Support
- Assess diverse lending scenarios including residential, commercial, SMSF, development, private, and specialist lending.
- Navigate complex credit circumstances, such as self-employed structures, SME finance, defaults, credit impairment, and ATO debt.
- Research lender policies extensively, compare viable options, and present practical loan restructuring, refinancing, or debt consolidation strategies.
Stakeholder Communication & Operational Excellence
- Manage document collection, KYC requirements, and client follow-ups directly and professionally.
- Liaise with key external stakeholders—including lenders, BDMs, credit assessors, valuers, and solicitors—to drive files forward.
- Escalate potential bottlenecks early while proposing practical, commercial solutions.
- Maintain accurate records, detailed file notes, and strict regulatory compliance within the CRM and aggregator systems
