The Company
Common Securitization Solutions (CSS) is seeking an experienced Director of Diversity and Inclusion to join our team of talented professionals in Bethesda, Maryland.
Established in 2014, CSS is a Joint Venture between Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. We were established to develop and operate the Common Securitization Platform (CSP), to be utilized specifically by the Government –Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), but architected in a manner adaptable for use by other participants in the secondary housing finance market.
The CSP is closely linked to FHFA’s Single Security or Uniform Mortgage Backed Security (UMBS) initiative. FHFA believes the transition to the new UMBS will lead to a more efficient, resilient, and liquid secondary mortgage market.
CSS, acting as an agent for both Enterprises, issues the UMBS, tracks performance of the UMBS, calculates monthly bond payments, generates security disclosure information for investor consumption and handles security tax reports and IRS filings. CSS performs similar functions for each Enterprise’s legacy securities. CSS is supporting monthly issuance of $100-150 Billion of UMBS and manages bond administration on over 1 million securities with an underlying unpaid principal balance of approximately $4.7 trillion.
CSS is based in Bethesda, MD and has a growing presence in Pasadena, CA. CSS has a talented and dedicated team of securities operations professionals and a best in class information technology organization that jointly run the largest security management platform in the United States. The CSP was developed on state-of-the-art cloud technologies and will continue to leverage these technologies to innovate the platform.
