We are a company of self-starters, high achievers, and team players. We’re growing fast and looking for individuals who want to grow with us.

About the Role: Loan Partner

This isn’t a back-office-only processing role. As a Loan Partner, you will work in step with an assigned top-producing Senior Mortgage Loan Officer (SMLO), Inside Sales Associate (ISA), and a Senior Submissions Processor to provide a high-touch client experience and ensure loans move swiftly through the pipeline.

This is your chance to run a mini-business within a business—with the leads, systems, mentorship, and momentum already in place.

What You’ll Do:

Be the main point of contact for clients from initial file to close.

Gather, review, and organize client documentation for loan files.

Work closely with your SMLO to structure loans that meet client goals and program requirements.

Partner with a submissions processor to ensure timely, accurate submissions to underwriting.

Proactively manage timelines and communication to ensure smooth closings.

Use our technology platform to manage tasks, documentation, and communication.

Identify issues before they become roadblocks and offer smart, timely solutions.

Confidently manage a pipeline of 20+ loans that fund and flow daily

What We’re Looking For:

2+ years of mortgage loan processing or related experience. Non-QM experience welcomed.

Deep understanding of loan docs, timelines, and borrower qualifications.

Strong communication skills—you enjoy talking with clients and simplifying the complex.

Exceptionally organized, proactive, and deadline-driven.

Tech-savvy and comfortable using Adobe, Gsheets, CRM, LOS, and file tracking tools.

Enthusiastic about learning, growing, and contributing to a winning team.

MUST be able to commute & work in the office at one of the following Griffin Funding locations:

San Diego, CA

Laguna Niguel, CA

Scottsdale, AZ

Why This Role is Different:

Salary + Commission: Your performance translates directly to your paycheck.

Growth Opportunity: This is a launchpad for long-term career advancement within Griffin Funding.

Real Leads: The ISA & your SMLO bring in the deals—you get them closed.

Modern Systems: Tech and support that help you close faster and smarter. All needs are at fingertips, organized within Traniual and from others on the team.

Mentorship: Work directly with a top-producing SMLO and learn proven processes

Training: Griffin Funding University (GFU) details the programs and internal processes. You will learn while you earn, as GFU is strategically designed to be woven into your workday.
