From Home Permian Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Permian Mortgage Manager

Build the Team. Grow the Market. Lead the Experience.

At Olive Branch Home Loans, we're building something special in the Permian Basin—and we're looking for a leader who wants to help shape it.

The Permian Mortgage Manager is responsible for building and leading our Midland-Odessa mortgage team while driving growth, production, and customer experience throughout the region. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands mortgage origination, enjoys developing people, and thrives in fast-paced environments where opportunity and ownership go hand-in-hand.

You'll recruit and coach loan consultants, strengthen relationships with builder and title partners, originate loans, and help create a culture where both customers and team members thrive.

Why This Role Is Different

This role is part builder, part coach, and part originator.

You'll have the opportunity to shape the Permian Basin mortgage team from the ground up—finding the right people, developing loan consultants, creating momentum in the market, and building strong alignment with our builder partner and title team.

This is not a role for someone who wants to stay above the day-to-day. It's for someone who can jump in, solve problems, clear bottlenecks, and keep the team moving when the work is hard.

What You'll Do

• Build and lead the Permian Basin mortgage team, including recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and developing loan consultants.
• Coach team members in production, file quality, borrower experience, urgency, and culture fit.
• Set and execute the branch growth strategy across Midland and Odessa.
• Build authentic relationships with builder partners, referral sources, and the title team.
• Drive branch pipeline health and pull-through while protecting the 30-day closing standard.
• Originate loans as needed to support team health, production, and customer experience.
• Identify and clear bottlenecks early so files continue moving forward.
• Uphold fair lending, GLBA, RESPA, and SAFE Act compliance across the team.
• Partner with leadership on staffing, compensation, market growth, and team performance.
• Report on pipeline, production, and team health while setting the daily pace for the branch.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

You’re a strategic builder. You can see what the business needs, create a plan, and move forward without waiting for every answer.

You’re a player-coach. You know what it takes to be a strong loan consultant because you've done the work—and you know how to develop others to do it well.

You’re a relentless improver. You understand the systems, notice what’s not working, and keep making the process better.

You’re gritty and fast-paced. You bring urgency, ownership, and calm leadership under pressure.

You’re relational and trustworthy. You know mortgage is more than numbers and files—it's people, families, partners, and long-term trust.
