Vice President, Mortgage Industry Development

Description

House.

AI is building a new way for consumers to understand their financial readiness for home ownership - and connect with the right mortgage and real estate professionals when they are ready to move. We know the product. We know the real estate industry.

We are looking for a senior mortgage industry executive with deep relationships across mortgage banking and the companies that serve it.

Your first mission is simple:
Open the right doors.

Your larger mission is more ambitious:
Help us build a major mortgage industry business around
House.

AI.

This is not a traditional business development role. We want someone with the relationships of an industry insider, the commercial instincts of a salesperson, and the mentality of a business builder.

Leverage and expand senior-level relationships with leading mortgage banks and large lenders across the United States. We strongly prefer candidates who already have meaningful relationships with independent mortgage banks, major non-bank lenders, bank-owned mortgage businesses, and large regional or national mortgage platforms. You should already know many of the people we need to meet.

Identify the mortgage companies and industry partners that can accelerate House.

AI's distribution and growth. Personally originate and help close the first generation of lighthouse customers and strategic partnerships that establish House.

AI within the mortgage industry. Develop relationships with CEOs, Presidents, CROs, CMOs, Heads of Production, Heads of Consumer Direct, and other senior mortgage executives who control customer acquisition, technology, marketing, and distribution decisions.

• Nurture long‑cycle prospects
• Qualify borrowers
• Convert prospects into applications and funded loans
• Use CRM, marketing automation, data, and mortgage technology
• Measure lead quality, conversion, CAC, and lifetime economics

Opening doors matters.
What happens after the door opens matters more.

Work directly with House.

AI's product, AI, sales, and executive teams to turn industry relationships into products, partnerships, customers, and revenue. Build a qualified enterprise pipeline and help create a repeatable commercial model that can scale beyond individual executive relationships.

Serve as House.

AI's senior mortgage‑industry voice. Help us understand:

• What mortgage banks actually need

• How purchasing decisions are made
• How lenders evaluate leads and marketing technology
• Where AI can materially improve borrower acquisition and conversion
• Where the mortgage industry is going next

Translate those insights into product opportunities and go‑to‑market strategy.

As the mortgage opportunity grows, help define the organization, partnerships, sales capabilities, and industry presence required to make mortgage a significant House.
