Zions Bancorporation is currently hiring an experienced Consumer Loan Workout Officer to join our team working at the Zions Technology Center! This position is eligible to work from home with a Hybrid work schedule (subject to periodic review).

The Consumer Special Assets Group (CSAG) was formed to help the Bank achieve its goal of proactive problem credit management.  This is achieved by developing win/win solutions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty while limiting exposure by utilizing best practices in the workout arena through team-work, continuing education, mentoring, skill sharing and peer support.  CSAG strives to develop robust partnerships between lenders and workout officers to identify loss risk and take appropriate action before issues become problems and eventually losses. 

CSAG’s mission is to rehabilitate rather than to liquidate.  Work within the group primarily involves loss mitigation, foreclosure, bankruptcy, loan workout and loss recovery functions by determining the best course for the borrower to repay their debt obligation to the bank by following prudent credit and underwriting standards that are designed to control and limit risk and loss.  Modifications are reviewed very carefully to insure mortgage servicing rule requirements are followed.  When loss mitigation alternatives are not successful foreclosure remedies are pursued.

The ideal candidate will have the skills and experience to:

• Responsible for the workout of adversely graded loans through the restructuring of debt, negotiation of settlement agreements, pursuit of appropriate legal action and/or the liquidation of collateral.
• Secures collateral, equity, or assets of the borrower to preserve the loan principal, prevents the loan from being placed on non-accrual and prevents or limits losses.
