Producing Branch Manager - Mortgage (Loan Officer to Leader)
Primary Residential Mortgage · Bozeman, MT · 1 mo ago
On-site$80k–$220k/yrFull-time
About the role
PRMI is looking for an experienced Mortgage Loan Officer who wants to build a team and earn on its production, without giving up their own deals or getting stuck running operations. This isn't a desk-manager job. You keep originating. We supply the processing, underwriting, closing and back-office support so your time goes to production, recruiting and coaching.
- Keep your book and add team income — you stay a producer and earn on your branch's results.
- Pay is based on your branch's profit and loss (P&L).
- No operations cleanup — a dedicated division support team handles processing and fulfillment.
- Products to win more deals: Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, and programs with more than 40 state housing agencies, backed by a direct seller and servicer to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
- A 28-year, multi-billion-dollar lender licensed in 49 states, with strong access to capital markets and modern loan origination technology.
- Recognition that matters: top producers earn award trips.
Pay
Compensation: $80K–$220K base salary + commission on personal production + branch override. Sign-on bonus available. Pay is based on your branch's profit and loss (P&L).
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) plan
- Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Paid time off
- Award trips for top producers
Responsibilities
- Keep originating purchase and refinance loans through your referral network.
- Recruit, mentor and coach loan officers, a few hours a week and not all day.
- Lead the branch's culture and performance, and grow the branch's P&L.
Requirements
- About 3 years in retail mortgage origination with a steady track record.
- Active, licensed Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS).
- Hold a Principal Lending license, or ability to obtain one where required by state.
- Strong referral network of real estate agents and builders.
- Player-coach, senior LO or team lead ready for your own branch.
