Mortgage Loan Officer

Since 2017, Flourish has been on a mission to help financial advisors evolve from holistic advice to holistic implementation to better serve their clients and grow their businesses. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can't easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.

Today, we work with over 1,100 RIAs that collectively represent more than $2.6T in assets under management across two products: Flourish Cash and Flourish Lending. Headquartered in New York City, we are an independently-operating, wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Life Insurance Company.

About You

You are an ambitious self-starter who is looking to join a new division of a fast-growing fintech as one our first Mortgage Loan Officers.
