About the role

The Packaging Manager leads the Manila-based Home Loan Packaging Team and is accountable for delivering high-quality, assessment-ready submissions. This is a hands-on people leader role that combines day-to-day queue management with coaching, quality oversight and stakeholder coordination. The role exists to improve submission quality, reduce avoidable assessor rework, resolve missing information and clarifications efficiently, and ensure every file is packaged with clear status, rationale and handoff notes before entering assessment.

• Lead, coach and develop the Packaging Team, setting clear expectations for productivity, quality, queue discipline and stakeholder service.
• Manage daily workflow, work allocation and queue priorities to ensure files progress efficiently and agreed service levels are met.
• Oversee packaging quality across the team, including completeness standards, handoff notes, submission readiness and control discipline.
• Act as the first escalation point for complex files, missing documents, clarification issues, ageing items and stakeholder concerns before handoff to assessment.
• Partner closely with origination, operations and third-party stakeholders to align on requirements, handoff standards, status visibility and feedback loops.
• Drive a clear operating rhythm across the team, including daily queue reviews, weekly quality and workload reviews, and launch-period issue resolution.
• Support the setup and ongoing refinement of SOPs, checklists, readiness criteria and team controls as the function matures.
• Track and report on service performance, rework themes, file ageing, quality outcomes and launch risks to relevant Manila and Australian stakeholders.
• Remain hands-on in the workflow where required, assisting with triage, packaging review and priority files during peak periods.
• Ensure the team operates within defined scope, focusing on pre-submission packaging rather than credit decisioning or broader product and policy ownership.

• Proven experience leading or supervising an operations, mortgage processing, loan packaging or pre-assessment team.
• Strong understanding of residential home loan documentation, submission preparation and quality control, ideally including self-employed application complexity.
• Strong understanding of credit policy and credit risk concepts.
• Demonstrated ability to manage queues, balance workload and improve throughput without compromising quality.
• Experience coaching team members, lifting capability and managing performance in a structured operational environment.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to work effectively across origination, assessment and support teams.
• High attention to detail with sound judgement in identifying missing information, inconsistencies and submission risks.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including concise file notes, status updates and escalation summaries.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving processes, launch activity and continuous improvement priorities.
• Good understanding of role boundaries, with the ability to enforce process discipline while avoiding credit decisioning responsibilities.
• Experience in Philippine people leadership, workforce management and performance management is preferred.
