Underwriter III

Join the company defining what it means to be an Impact Lender!

Mortgages are what we do, but that doesn't define who we are. In 2008, Movement disrupted the industry with the innovative 6-7-1 mortgage process. In 2023, we pioneered again, helping launch Impact Lending – a new category of lending. Any mortgage lender that commits at least 10% of its profits to helping the neighborhoods it serves is an Impact Lender.

At Movement, we are Impact Lenders. We give 40%-50% of our profits to making an impact in our communities. For us, purpose and people have always come before profit.

We’re growing and looking for a Senior Mortgage Underwriter III.

Position Overview

We have redefined the mortgage industry, and one of the ways that makes us unique is that our process begins with the Underwriter. We have removed obstacles like appraisal and title so you can just focus on making the best decision for our customers and bring families home faster. A Movement Underwriter acts as our gatekeeper with upfront underwriting. We truly value your knowledge, so we empower you to make critical judgments.
