About the Job
About Tomo
Tomo's mission is not just to make homebuying joyful, or to make homebuying easy, or to make homebuying fast. Tomo's mission is to advantage the homebuyer. Everyone else is in line ready to take their cut from a homebuyer - and all too often that cut is not deserved. We are by their side trying to give them a leg up, trying to give them information others don't have, give them advice others don't have, give them a lower cost that others don't have - all that they can use to achieve better outcomes than they'd be able to otherwise.
Tomo is a FinTech startup that improves the homebuying experience by pairing a smarter and faster mortgage process with actionable data insights to put buyers in the best position to negotiate and close (and at the right price). Tomo raised a record setting seed round of $110 million and plans to change the future of how homebuyers finance their home purchases.
You have a passion for helping others, driving top performing sales teams, and get giddy about providing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for homebuyers. You recognize that technology is the future, and that the mortgage industry could use a shake up. Tomo is seeking an experienced Director of Sales to help lead our Loan Advisors to continuous improvement and success!
