GreatAmerica Financial Services is a highly successful entrepreneurial company providing equipment financing to businesses across the United States. Our exemplary customer service, our principle-centered business philosophy and our team-based operating approach are key to our success and growth.
We Are Looking to Add a Key Member to Our Documentation Team!
Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment? Do you enjoy being the go-to person who makes things happen? GreatAmerica is seeking a Documentation Specialist I to join our Direct Programs Team, where no two transactions are alike and every day brings new challenges.
This role is ideal for someone with a finance or leasing background, strong customer service skills, attention to detail, and a passion for problem-solving. As the documentation expert, you’ll be the liaison between our brokers customers and the internal GreatAmerica Team, ensuring transactions are documented correctly and funded efficiently.
As a Documentation Specialist, you will:
Review signed agreements for accuracy and compliance with company policies.
Confirm end-user contact details and perform fraud prevention checks.
Validate equipment, terms, and billing with end-users and brokers.
Prepare and submit UCC filings to secure purchase money security interests.
Accurately input data into origination platforms and initiate invoicing.
Communicate with brokers and customers to resolve documentation issues.
Restructure contracts based on transaction needs (e.g., equipment swaps, tax adjustments).
Pull advances and fees; handle titling when applicable.
Perform phone verifications and coordinate with brokers.
Support broker meetings and maintain strong relationships.
Shepherd transactions through the process to ensure timely funding and customer satisfaction.
What makes this role unique:
Broker-Focused: You’ll work directly with brokers - no internal sales team - so relationship-building is key.
Transaction Variety: From copiers and franchises to vehicles and medical equipment, transactions vary in size and structure.
Ownership Mentality: You’ll own your territory and accounts like a small business owner.
Operational Excellence: Multitasking, prioritization, and extreme accuracy. Mistakes can escalate quickly, so attention to detail and confidence in decision-making are essential.
Problem Solving: Expect one-offs and unique scenarios that require creative thinking.
To be successful in this role, you will need:
Education: Associate’s degree required; Bachelor’s in Business preferred.
Experience: Some finance or leasing experience preferred; broker experience is a plus.
Skills:
Detail-oriented and organized
Strong written and verbal communication
Reliable and accountable
Excellent decision-making and problem-solving
Comfortable on the phone with brokers and end-users
Ability to multitask and prioritize under pressure
Technical: Proficient in Microsoft Office; familiarity with Booking Platform, Infolease, and Onbase is a plus.
