- Strong technical capability in title review, variations, rectifications, and escalated case resolution.
- Ability to work autonomously within a specialist legal team.
- Proven ability to manage client expectations and deliver high‑quality outputs at pace.
- Prior experience in a panel firm or lender‑services environment.
