What are the responsibilities and job description for the Producing Branch Manager / Senior Retail Loan Officer position at The Mortgage Talent Network?
This is a confidential search on behalf of an award-winning, independent mortgage banker expanding its Texas footprint. The Managing Partner of the company will be in San Antonio shortly and is personally meeting with top candidates. Interviews are scheduling now.
The Opportunity
A well-established, privately held mortgage banker — recognized as a Top Workplace and rated 4.9/5 by its own employees — is looking for a seasoned Producing Branch Manager or Senior Retail Loan Officer to anchor and grow its San Antonio presence.
This is not a role at a big-box lender where you're a number. This is a chance to build something with a company that has the culture, the infrastructure, and the ownership mindset to support your growth — and get out of your way while you do it.
What Makes This Different
You own your fulfillment. Processing, underwriting, and closing are all handled in-house — no wholesale partner delays, no third-party bottlenecks. You control the timeline, the client experience, and your reputation.
The culture is real. Owners sit in cubes alongside their team. Decisions get made fast. People stay. If you've spent years at a company where leadership is unreachable and the answer is always "corporate said no," this will feel different from day one.
You set the structure. Remote, hybrid, in-office — bring your team, build from scratch, or grow an existing book. The platform is flexible enough to support serious producers at every stage.
Texas is a priority. This isn't a company dabbling in the Lone Star State. San Antonio is a deliberate growth market, and the executive team is personally invested in making it successful.
Compensation & Structure
Competitive compensation platform
Flexible work arrangement (remote / hybrid / in-office)
Full benefits, marketing and expense support, and professional branding resources
Backed by a company licensed in 20 states with 25 years in the industry
The Timeline - Immediate
The company's President will be in San Antonio in the coming weeks and is reserving time for personal, face-to-face interviews with select candidates. If this describes where you want to take your career, the conversation needs to start now.
