• Help foster a team culture rooted in passion, curiosity, and continuous improvement
• Bring energy, positivity, a critical eye, unimpeachable integrity, a team-first attitude, and a desire to contribute to building something great, together

• You bring a "system owner" mindset and look at a loan through the multi-dimensional lens of a customer, a support agency, and the finance team simultaneously
