Aggressive Growth. Strong Leadership. Real Opportunity.
A well-capitalized, Fed-chartered bank is expanding across the U.S. and we’re looking for a proven mortgage professional to lead the charge.

We’re not looking for just another manager. We’re searching for a builder, a leader with the experience, drive, and vision to grow markets, build high-performing teams, and take ownership of results.


📍 Your Mission:

You’ll be responsible for launching, operating, and growing residential mortgage branches across the region. That means recruiting top-producing sales leaders and loan officers, developing local market strategies, driving sales and profitability, and building a culture of accountability, performance, and service.


🔑 What You'll Lead:

📌 Sales + Market Expansion

  • Recruit experienced loan officers and build a winning team

  • Execute business development strategies to grow market share

  • Identify and act on local opportunities to boost production

  • Coach loan officers to exceed individual and regional goals

  • Keep a sharp eye on market trends and competitor activity

📌 Branch Operations

  • Oversee day-to-day operations from origination through closing

  • Deliver consistent, high-quality customer service

  • Delegate effectively to keep operations smooth and compliant

  • Ensure proper staffing, training, and performance standards

  • Monitor expenses and adhere to pricing guidelines

📌 Profitability + Planning

  • Track performance KPIs and improve branch profitability

  • Align strategies with corporate vision and long-term goals

  • Recommend smart, scalable improvements to drive better results

  • Own the performance of your region—no excuses, just results


✅ What You Bring:

  • 5+ years of retail mortgage production management experience

  • 8+ years of mortgage banking and origination experience

  • Strong working knowledge of FHA, VA, FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA guidelines

  • Solid grasp of compliance, fair lending, and mortgage laws

  • A proven track record of recruiting, coaching, and leading sales teams

  • Strategic mindset with an eye for business development

  • Clear, confident communication skills—both written and verbal

  • Natural leadership presence, integrity, and team-building abilities

  • A passion for growing people, pipelines, and profits

Bachelor’s degree and formal leadership training are a plus... but experience, results, and mindset matter most.


💵 What’s In It for You:

  • Competitive base salary + monthly override

  • High-paying personal production commissions

  • Executive support and autonomy to build your region

  • A growth-driven culture that rewards action, not red tape

  • Room to grow with a company that’s investing in your success
