A Better opportunity:

Beyond producing high quality loans, our goal is to build a product that will ultimately reduce the cost of homeownership in America. With offices in New York, California, Charlotte, and Gurgaon, we are quickly expanding in order to deliver a delightful borrower experience through a combination of technology and people. At better.com, you will have a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team and you will play a critical role in delivering on the Better mission.

From the start of our customer's homeownership journey, our sales team serves as the primary point of contact from the initial application and exploration stage until their loan is locked in. Our sales organization is a dynamic team of Customer Experience Associates (entry), Loan Consultant Associates (mid-level), and Loan Consultants (advanced). All roles are equally essential to the success of the organization.

As a Loan Consultant Associate (LCA), your focus will be in both sales and customer experience. You are the first point of contact with the customers once they fill out an application. You will serve as a liaison between Better and our customers to determine their needs, qualifications, and recommend the right loan products to help meet their goal. The homeownership journey is not easy, so we expect our LCAs to be empathetic and compassionate to help guide our customers through the process. You will be engaging with potential customers (warm leads) that have an intent to explore with us via phone calls, emails and text messaging. Finally, in this role, you will be able to expand your knowledge not only in the mortgage industry, but also in various sales strategies. Success is when our customers walk away with the best rate, and a wonderful customer experience.

Note: This role may require some weekend availability.

Responsibilities will include:
  • Getting on the phone and interacting with interested prospective customers
  • Working with our sales teams to build a pipeline of customers
  • Educating customers on what it takes to buy a home and partnering with them to make it happen
  • Taking a consultative approach in helping customers overcome issues and achieve their goals
  • Providing the best customer experience possible, which in turn will help you convert potential customers to Better customers

About You:
  • Desire to help each consumer with the most important financial transaction of their life
  • Ability to think critically and problem solve complex scenarios
  • Enthusiastic about ensuring a great consumer experience
  • Self-motivated, competitive against your own personal goals
  • A go-getter, scrappy & creative thinker
  • High degree of personal integrity and work ethic
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Bachelor's degree required
  • Desire to crush it

The Better mission is rooted in values that drive us.
  • We do what's in the best interest of the consumer, not ourselves
  • We have growth mindsets, not fixed ones
  • We believe that success lies in execution, not credentials
  • We act like owners, not just employees
  • We work to find answers on our own, not wait for them to be given to us
  • We optimize for mission, not ego

Our mission speaks for itself-we continue to outpace the industry at every turn. We've recently joined forces in partnership with Ally Bank, and our backers have helped build some of the most transformative tech and finance companies in history. Kleiner Perkins, Goldman Sachs, American Express, Citigroup, Activant Capital, Ally Bank, and others have invested in our vision for what homeownership can be.
