Job description

Mortgage Regional Manager — Retail Division

We’re looking for a high-performing Loan Officer who is ready to step into leadership—without giving up production.

This is not a traditional management role. You won’t be buried in operations, fixing problems, or managing day-to-day workflows. Instead, this role is designed for a proven producer who wants to scale their impact by leading a team while staying focused on what they do best: originating and driving business.

What This Role Offers

The ability to build and lead a team without operational drag
Dedicated operational infrastructure to support your business and your team
A focus on sales leadership, mentorship, and growth
The opportunity to scale beyond your personal production
Top-tier P&L upside tied to team performance

Your Focus

Continue producing at a high level
Lead from the front through production and example
Provide mentorship and group coaching (a few hours per week)
Help recruit and develop talent on the sales side
Drive culture, accountability, and performance

What You Won’t Be Doing

Managing day-to-day operations
Cleaning up processing or fulfillment issues
Wondering why you gave up volume to herd cats

Who This Is For

Someone who wants to grow into leadership without sacrificing income
A builder who wants to create something bigger than their own book of business
A leader who prefers influencing performance over managing tasks

Why This Role Exists

Most leadership paths force top producers to choose between income and influence. This model is built so you don’t have to.

You can scale a team, expand your impact, and still maintain your production—with the right structure behind you.

If you’ve been thinking about leadership but don’t want to lose momentum in your own business, this is worth a conversation.

What you’ll gain by joining PRMI:

A 28-year-old, multi-billion-dollar production engine with superior access to capital markets. One of the industry’s deepest product benches, unparalleled origination technologies.

Actively doing business in 49 states. A FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA “direct” seller/servicer. Participation with over 40 state housing authorities.

Competitor-envied divisional support.

A “game changing” value proposition for recruiting and keeping top-producing mortgage talent.

Top-tier compensation driven by your divisional P&L revenue, and an extensive employee-benefits palette. Outstanding performance is regularly recognized, including significant awards-travel.

What we’re looking for in a leader:

Approximately 5 years of successful experience in retail mortgage origination, to include Principal lending management roles. Less experience may be considered given past achievements.
You must have extensive experience managing and maintaining a network of referral partners to be considered for this position.
Employment with PRMI requires compliance with and adherence to all applicable mortgage and fair lending laws and regulations as well as PRMI policies.
Demonstrated ability to recruit, hire, train, lead, and motivate branch personnel.
Knowledgeable of, and committed to, QC compliance.
Ability to effectively and professionally handle difficult situations that may arise when working with branches/ division.
Excellent presentation and communication skills, both verbal and written.
Leadership skills evolving from a passion for sales accomplishment, team development, training, and practice growth.
Familiarity with Accounting terms and procedures (e.g. debits, credits, General Ledgers, etc.)

If you’re looking for a partnership with like-minded, entrepreneurial mortgage professionals, we need to talk!
