Loan Production Associate

Overview

Led by engineering and product first founders, Morty is a mortgage platform that empowers loan officers and mortgage brokerages to build their own businesses under their own brand. Leveraging the technology and infrastructure we built as a DTC mortgage broker, we remove the complexity and cost of running a mortgage business while providing the tools to help our partners grow and increase profits.

We are seeking a detail-oriented, resourceful, and proactive individual to join our Loan Production team. Our Loan Production team operates in pods — typically made up of one processor and one closer — who work together to support a shared pipeline of loans from submission through closing and funding.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with another operations teammate to ensure loans move efficiently and predictably through each stage of the process. Depending on your experience and strengths, you may focus more heavily on processing, closing/fulfillment, or be comfortable supporting both — with clear ownership and collaboration within your pod.

You’ll handle a high volume of core tasks that keep deals moving, while also having opportunities to deepen your underwriting knowledge and contribute to operational improvements. You have a strong work ethic, stay calm under pressure, and are always willing to jump in where help is needed. You’re excited to join a fast-growing startup and help build scalable, best-in-class mortgage operations.
