  • Lead and develop a multi-functional team including heads of sales, operations, compliance, and capital markets.
  • Report performance metrics, risk posture, and strategic growth plans to Opendoor’s executive leadership team.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • 5+ years of progressive residential mortgage industry experience in a senior leadership or general management capacity at a non-bank or independent mortgage company.
  • Proven track record of building, scaling, and managing end-to-end mortgage origination operations across multiple states.
  • Deep knowledge of federal and state mortgage regulations including RESPA, TILA/TRID, ECOA, HMDA, the SAFE Act, and BSA/AML.
  • Experience serving as or directly overseeing an AML/BSA Compliance Officer.
  • Familiarity with GSE seller/servicer requirements, FHA Handbook requirements, VA lender requirements, and secondary market execution strategies.
  • Strong P&L management experience with a demonstrated ability to drive loan volume and improve unit economics.
  • Active NMLS registration in good standing and the ability to obtain MLO licenses in required states.
