Job description

Build Something That Doesn't Exist Yet.

Most lending jobs ask you to close loans.

We're asking you to build a career.

At STR Home Loans, we're creating a different kind of lending company. As the specialized lending arm of STR Agents, we help real estate investors finance short-term rentals, vacation homes, second homes, and investment properties across the country.

Clients aren't simply buying houses.

They're creating long-term wealth.

They need more than someone who can quote rates; they need a strategic financing partner who understands how investors think, how creative financing works, and how to structure deals that help clients achieve their goals.

We're looking for our Founding Director of Lending, a forward-thinking mortgage professional who wants to help build a lending platform from the ground up. This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact by creating systems, shaping strategy, and becoming the trusted financing expert behind one of the fastest-growing niches in real estate.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This isn't a traditional mortgage company with layers of bureaucracy and a rigid corporate playbook.

You'll absolutely originate loans, but your impact will go far beyond production.

You'll help shape the future of the business by creating scalable systems, improving workflows, developing strategic partnerships, and helping define how we serve investors. As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to recruit, mentor, and lead additional Loan Officers, building a lending division that becomes a competitive advantage for the entire organization.

We're looking for someone who enjoys building, solving problems, and creating opportunities where others see obstacles.

When another lender says, "That deal won't work," you're already thinking about what other financing options might
