Sr Manager

What we're doing

Owning a home is a foundational part of building financial security and wealth in America. However, the tools and technology that support home ownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review.

We're here to change it.

Vesta was founded to rebuild the mortgage LOS from the ground up. Our founding belief is that the future of mortgage lending will be a fully automated process. Today, our AI augmented platform makes that a reality. Our mission has been to build a platform where AI isn't just an add-on, but the core engine that transforms how a loan is actually manufactured.

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open and automated origination experience, benefiting financial institutions and their customers.

And, we're not alone.

We've raised $55M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures.

We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the finance industry, we would love to hear from you!

You love creating the infrastructure a People function runs on: developmental frameworks that make managers genuinely good at their jobs, leveling architectures that keep a fast-growing company consistent, and comp philosophy that holds under pressure. You've partnered directly with the manager tier and become a trusted collaborator. You're strategic, not procedural: if a loop isn't working, you rebuild it rather than repeat it.

You're the person managers bring the uncomfortable stuff to, and who tells them what's actually going on. If you want to be the builder behind a scaling People function, we'd love to meet you.

This role is structured around two things you'll own end to end. The first is program and platform work: leveling, comp philosophy, and management development. The second is being the trusted HR business partner to our engineering manager tier, with a growing set of managers across the company over time.

• Design the leveling framework at a company level. Define what each level means and looks like across every function. Set the standards for how someone gets promoted, how leveling stays consistent as new roles are added, and how one function's Level 4 compares to another's. This is the foundation the rest of our development, comp, and performance conversations sit on top of.

• Develop how Vesta develops its people. Form a shared point of view on what success looks like at each level. Turn the leveling framework into real conversations: development plans, promotions, calibration, and honest feedback about where someone is at on their career journey.

• Stand up management development as a program. Managing people isn't a job anyone gets good at by accident. Design the program that turns people who are new to that work into people who are good at it.

• Own comp philosophy. How we pay, how we level, how we structure cash, equity, and bonus. Consistent leveling and clear philosophy matter more as the company gets bigger. Ambiguity here corrodes trust faster than almost anything.

• Be the trusted HR…
