Our client, an established Orange County–based private credit lender, is conducting a confidential search for a VP of Sales & Production. This hands-on senior leadership role reports directly to the Founder and CEO. It is designed for a proven producer who will continue to originate while building, leading, and holding accountable a wholesale origination team.

The organization knows that a great salesperson doesn't always make a great sales manager. They are looking for someone who has proven both: a strong personal book of business and a track record of developing others into successful producers.

What you'll own

Bring meaningful personal production and continue growing your own book of business

Build out the wholesale origination team by recruiting, hiring, and developing originators

Lead, coach, and hold originators accountable to production and quality goals

Grow mortgage broker and referral partner relationships across Southern California

Partner with Operations and Underwriting to deliver well-structured loans that protect investor capital

Work directly with the CEO and senior leadership on sales strategy and growth

Requirements

A proven track record of strong personal production in private money, hard money, bridge, or non-QM lending

Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and developing originators, with results to show for it

Wholesale or broker-channel experience strongly preferred

An established network of mortgage broker and referral relationships in Southern California

A disciplined approach to credit quality and deal structure

Experience recruiting and building a sales team

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
