The Mortgage Office is the most trusted loan management platform in private lending. Founded in 1978, we power the full loan lifecycle for over 1,100 lenders, including private money firms, CDFIs, nonprofits, and government agencies, servicing more than $190 billion in loans.
We're recognized as G2's #1 Loan Servicing Software and Capterra's Best Ease of Use. With offices in Huntington Beach and San Mateo, we're now building the next generation of AI-native lending tools, and hiring a VP/SVP, Operations to help lead that work.
The Opportunity
The VP / SVP, Operations is the executive owner of TMO's customer organization, spanning pre-sales engineering, tiered technical support, customer onboarding and delivery, professional services, customer success, and TMO Academy.
This leader owns the customer lifecycle from technical qualification through long-term retention.

Customer Delivery & Success
  • Own customer onboarding through segment-aligned Go Live motions (SMB and Enterprise), each covering Loan Servicing, Loan Origination, and Fund Management.
  • Drive measurable improvement in time-to-go-live, onboarding NPS, and early-life retention.
  • Run the post-sale technical solutions function: Forward-Deployed Engineers embedded at strategic accounts, Professional Services for scoped delivery, and Data Solutions Engineers for integration and data advisory.
  • Own gross revenue retention as the primary outcome metric for the Customer Success function. Build the playbook, health-scoring, and renewal motion that supports it.

Cross-Cutting Operating Levers
  • Define and instrument the customer org's metrics stack: GRR, time-to-value, CSAT, support SLAs, PS utilization & margin, certification volume.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering on a continuous feedback loop from the field back into the roadmap.
  • Partner with Sales and Marketing on expansion motions, customer references, and pricing/packaging input from the field.
  • Stand up the operating reviews, dashboards and drive executive communication.

Outcomes in Year One

What You Bring
Required
  • 12+ years leading customer-facing post-sales or operations organizations; 3+ years at the VP level or above.
  • Direct experience running two or more of: support, professional services, customer success, onboarding/implementation, technical account management.
  • Track record of owning GRR as a primary metric and improving it.
  • Experience leading an organization across multiple management layers.
  • Strong financial and operational rigor: you build the dashboard, you run the reviews, you hold the line on the numbers.

Preferred
  • Direct experience in private lending, mortgage, or specialty finance - prior operating roles at a private lender, debt fund, loan servicer, mortgage originator, or vertical software company serving that customer base. Fluency in the mechanics of loan servicing, origination, draw management, investor reporting, and fund accounting.
  • A working point of view on where the private lending industry is going: AI, regulatory pressure, capital markets dynamics, and the operational realities of running a private credit shop.
  • Vertical SaaS leadership experience in financial services, lending, or capital markets technology.
  • Direct experience building or scaling a tiered support model and a Forward-Deployed Engineer / FDE function.
  • Hands-on experience deploying AI tooling inside a customer org - not slideware.
  • Experience running a customer education / academy function with certifications.

Style
  • Direct, low-ego, operationally precise. Says what you mean.
  • Customer-obsessed without being soft on accountability.
  • High agency - builds the org, the dashboard, and the playbook without being asked.
