Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Tomo is a digital mortgage company on a mission to eliminate the greed and complexity in lending, helping homebuyers save thousands of dollars. Our AI-driven customer experience makes the lending process faster, less frustrating, and more affordable. By passing these savings directly to homebuyers, we eliminate excessive fees and inflated rates that cost Americans billions each year. Backed by top-tier venture investors, including Ribbit, DST, and NFX, Tomo is poised to become one of the most valuable fintech startups of our generation. We are intentional about who joins our rapidly growing team—we seek ambitious, team-oriented, and driven individuals who embrace the effort required to win. At Tomo, we seek teammates who have a pattern of success in their lives —whether demonstrated through work, academics, athletics, or personal endeavors. Tomowners lean into the company culture, are energized by our mission and want to have fun at work. The elevator pitch… We’re hunting for an iconic Director of Public Relations to grow a brand that redefines an industry and advantages homebuyers. This leader will be a creative problem solver who cares little about conventions; you are driven to be a truth teller who drives exceptional results and great leaps forward. Asking hard questions, taking risks, and getting big things done is the purpose. You’ll be partnering closely with our VP marketing and CEO who fancy themselves communications savants (good luck with those two :-). What You'll Do: You’ll lead our earned media strategy—crafting the story of a company that wants to fight for customers by driving honesty and transparency in home finance, working closely with our CEO and executive thought leaders. You’ll co-create big campaigns with our creative and marketing team, finding smart and provocative ways to turn Tomo Mortgage into a household name. You’ll run media relations—building on your exciting relationships with journalists and thought leaders, ensuring that we’re connecting with the right people to expand our influence. Budgets and deadlines? You’ve got it under control. What Makes You a Great Fit: 10+ years of PR experience where you’ve owned both consumer-focused and corporate-focused PR campaigns, wrangled creative teams, and progressed the influence of innovative brands with a lot of independence and accountability. Project management chops—you’re a pro at juggling multiple priorities without breaking a sweat, and know how to think through all the critical details of a big moment (timing, targets, messaging, risk mitigation, influencers, etc.) Mortgage, real estate or financial services industry experience is ideal, as is experience with early stage startups. You are meticulous in planning and execution, have a command presence and have a natural sense of urgency. Why You’ll Love It Here: We’re mission-driven and we mean it. The future of the CFPB is murky at best, opening the door to even greater exploitation and deception across the industry. We’re committed to doing what’s right for people, advocating for honesty and transparency, and creating a future where everyone can buy a home. The early adopters know Tomo right now, but that’s about to change. We’ve got the financial backing, best-in-the-business team, and AI driven platform to be a big deal in just a few years. We’ve got guts and none of the bloated bureaucratic blockers—big audacious ideas get the love and support they need. Competitive salary, sweet benefits, and opportunities to grow with us.
