Job description

Vontive is a fast-growing fintech lender helping real estate investors finance fix-and-flip, ground-up construction, and rental properties. Our proprietary technology platform and lending partners power fast, transparent financing across a $2.8 trillion market.

Vontive was founded by mortgage and technology veterans from Freddie Mac and Palantir and is venture-backed by Citi, Zigg Capital, Founders Fund, Goldcrest, 8VC, XYZ, Village Global, and other well known investors.

Vontive grew 126% in 2025 and has ambitious goals for 2026. We are hiring Account Executives to develop relationships, own a book of business, close deals, and earn $250K+ annually—supported by curated leads, BDR, marketing, and customer success.

This is a revenue-generating sales role. As an Account Executive at Vontive, you will own the complete sales cycle for residential investment property mortgages–from cultivating relationships with real estate investors to closing deals and driving revenue growth. You will be directly accountable for generating revenue and earn attractive compensation, based on your performance.

No mortgage experience required. Account Executives will complete Vontive's comprehensive sales training program where you will learn our mortgage products, real estate investing fundamentals, underwriting principles, and how to leverage our proprietary technology platform. We specifically seek talented salespeople from outside the mortgage industry who bring fresh perspectives and proven closing ability.

• Close deals: Take full ownership of the sales process from initial contact through loan closing, ensuring on-time delivery and exceptional borrower experience
• Drive repeat business: Build lasting relationships that generate referrals and repeat transactions from satisfied investor clients
• Develop deep relationships with real estate investors, understanding their investment strategies, property portfolios, and financing needs
• Educate investors on Vontive's mortgage products, competitive rates, and loan structures tailored to fix-and-flip, ground up construction, and rental property investments
• Prepare and present compelling loan quotes, while prequalifying lending opportunities to ensure eligibility for Vontive's lending criteria

• Collaborate with Sales Analyst, Operations, and Capital Markets to ensure smooth execution and problem-solve any issues
