Regional Strategic Growth Leader

Retail Mortgage Banking | Federal Charter Bank

A well-capitalized Federal Charter Bank is seeking a Regional Strategic Growth Leader to expand, lead, and optimize retail mortgage production across a defined region. This is a senior leadership role for a proven mortgage operator who understands how to build branches, develop leaders, and drive sustainable production in a regulated banking environment.

The Opportunity

This role owns regional growth strategy and execution. You will be responsible for expanding the branch footprint, recruiting and developing branch leaders and loan officers, and ensuring production, compliance, and service standards are met across the region.

This is not a turnaround role and not a pure recruiter role. It is a build-and-lead position for a mortgage executive who knows how to scale responsibly.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow regional retail mortgage production in alignment with bank strategy

• Recruit, develop, and retain high-performing branch managers and loan officers

• Provide leadership oversight to fulfillment and operational partners to support production

• Drive consistent production performance, accountability, and execution across branches

• Partner with bank leadership to expand market presence and branch locations

• Ensure regulatory compliance, credit quality, and operational discipline

• Coach leaders on business planning, talent development, and execution rhythms

• Build a strong leadership bench and succession pipeline within the region

Ideal Background

• Current, hands-on mortgage industry leadership experience (required)

• Proven track record leading retail mortgage production at the branch or regional level

• Experience building and managing teams of branch leaders, loan officers, and support staff

• Strong understanding of mortgage banking within a federal charter / bank environment

• Demonstrated success recruiting experienced loan officers and developing leaders

• Ability to balance growth, risk management, and operational excellence

• Trusted leader with strong judgment, presence, and communication skills

Why This Role

• Federal charter platform with stability, credibility, and long-term growth vision

• Senior-level influence with the ability to shape regional strategy

• Opportunity to build something meaningful—not just manage what already exists

• Competitive compensation aligned with performance and regional results

If you are a seasoned mortgage executive with current industry experience and a passion for building strong teams and scalable platforms, this is an opportunity to lead meaningful growth within a stable federal charter environment.
