Home Lending Associate

Why Better. Why Now.

Better is rebuilding home finance as an AI-native platform—turning a process that once took weeks into something that can happen in seconds.

With over $110B in loans funded and $1.2B+ raised, we operate at real scale while rethinking how homeownership works from the ground up.

The category hasn’t caught up yet. That’s the opportunity.

A Better Opportunity

We’re looking for best in class sales agents to be a part of our mission to make Better Mortgage available to all Americans. At Better, our team of Home Lending Associates are responsible for more than just generating loan applications — we count on them to help us continually innovate and ensure we’re bringing best-in-class customer service to the mortgage industry. As part of the team, you’ll be on the front lines of making every borrower’s mortgage experience better, empowering them to make one of the most important financial decisions of their life. Your work will expose you to other critical pieces of a technology company, such as product, engineering, and marketing, giving you many opportunities to share customer insights and ultimately improve Better's core technology and message.

The Home Lending Associate (HLA) role is often a stepping stone toward our licensed Loan Consultant role. Top performers in the HLA role may have the opportunity to earn their mortgage licenses and be promoted into a Loan Consultant role over time.

· Stay current on industry regulations and loan products (conventional, FHA, VA) to provide accurate guidance.

· Take ownership of client inquiries, providing timely resolutions while maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information.

· Contribute ideas to improve in-house software, sales processes, and the overall customer experience.

Qualifications

· Minimum 2 years of sales experience (with at least 1 year in the mortgage industry).

· Track record of beating quota, with references that verify motivation, success, and work ethic.

· Highly motivated; a self-starter with a high degree of ownership and a strong customer focus.
