Better Mortgage

About The Position

Better is rebuilding home finance as an AI-native platform—turning a process that once took weeks into something that can happen in seconds. With over $110B in loans funded and $1.2B+ raised, we operate at real scale while rethinking how homeownership works from the ground up. The category hasn’t caught up yet. That’s the opportunity.

At Better, our team of Home Lending Associates are responsible for more than just generating loan applications — we count on them to help us continually innovate and ensure we’re bringing best-in-class customer service to the mortgage industry. As part of the team, you’ll be on the front lines of making every borrower’s mortgage experience better, empowering them to make one of the most important financial decisions of their life. Your work will expose you to other critical pieces of a technology company, such as product, engineering, and marketing, giving you many opportunities to share customer insights and ultimately improve Better's core technology and message.

Top performers in the HLA role may have the opportunity to earn their mortgage licenses and be promoted into a Loan Consultant role over time.
