Join the company defining what it means to be an Impact Lender!

Mortgages are what we do, but that doesn't define who we are. In 2008, Movement disrupted the industry with the innovative 6-7-1 mortgage process. In 2023, we pioneered again, helping launch Impact Lending – a new category of lending. Any mortgage lender that commits at least 10% of its profits to helping the neighborhoods it serves is an Impact Lender.

At Movement, we are Impact Lenders. We give 40%-50% of our profits to making an impact in our communities. For us, purpose and people have always come before profit.

The Mortgage Underwriter Team Lead plays a vital role in prioritizing the work flow of loans, managing pipelines, addressing loan escalations and cultivating internal and external relationships to create the best experience for loan officer borrowers.

Ready to disrupt the mortgage industry with us as a Mortgage Underwriter Team Lead? Then we think it’s time to #joinMovement
