What You'll Do:

Pricing & Hedging
  • Own rate sheet strategy and daily pricing decisions, balancing competitiveness against margin targets.
  • Set and maintain loan-level pricing adjustments (LLPAs), buy-up/buy-down structure, and exception pricing policy.
  • Partner with Sales leadership on pricing competitiveness and with Finance on margin performance.

Lock Desk
  • Oversee rate lock operations: lock requests, extensions, relocks, and expiration management.
  • Set lock desk policy and exception rules; ensure leaders and teammates apply them consistently.
  • Monitor pipeline lock status to prevent fallout and protect pull-through.

Secondary Marketing
  • Manage the loan sale process to investors and execute the hedging strategy that protects the company from rate risk.
  • Maintain investor relationships and delivery commitments; evaluate execution across investor channels.
  • Monitor market conditions and adjust strategy as rates and investor appetite shift.

Post-Closing / Shipping
  • Own the post-closing process: final document collection, loan file completion, and investor shipping.
  • Set and monitor turn-time and defect-rate standards for shipping and investor purchase.
  • Resolve suspense items and investor conditions; escalate systemic defect trends back to Closing and Underwriting.

Cross-Functional & People Leadership
  • Lead the leaders and teammates: set priorities, develop leaders, and build a bench.
  • Partner with Sales, Operations, Finance, Marketing, and Engineering teams on cross-team issues.
  • Represent capital markets and secondary operations in company-wide planning and risk conversations.

What Success Looks Like:
  • Pricing stays competitive without eroding margin targets.
  • Lock desk exceptions and relocks trend down; lock-to-funded pull-through improves.
  • Loans ship clean the first time; investor suspense volume and aging trend down - because we believe every second counts.
  • Turn times hold at or below target across post-closing and shipping.

What We're Looking For:

Required
  • 7+ years in mortgage capital markets, secondary marketing, or related operations, with direct experience in at least two of the four functional areas above.
  • Demonstrated ownership of pricing strategy or hedging execution in a production mortgage environment.
  • People leadership experience - has led leaders, not just individual contributors.
  • Working knowledge of investor guidelines (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae) and loan-level pricing mechanics.

Preferred
  • Experience standing up or upleveling a combined capital markets/operations function.
  • Familiarity with Sage's LOS/pricing engine stack (or comparable systems) and willingness to work in an agentic-forward, tech-heavy environment.
  • Direct-to-consumer or high-volume digital lending background.
