Teacher/Corporate Trainer
About the Firm
JVM Lending is an exceptionally dynamic, unique and tech-oriented mortgage lender seeking to disrupt our industry. What makes JVM different from other companies in the mortgage space is our extremely strong desire to maintain an outstanding culture and promote cohesive teamwork at all times. Another differing factor is that we prefer to hire individuals with little to no experience in our industry – JVM trains all new team members from top to bottom with our unique, unrivaled training program. The Corporate Trainer position is challenging, but the culture and work environment are collaborative, open and simply fun - creating an experience that is both intense and rewarding. Team members have substantial autonomy and influence in management decisions at all levels. In addition to our focus on teamwork and culture, JVM also places a strong emphasis on exemplary customer service. We are extremely proud of our outstanding online and social reputation in the marketplace.
To accommodate our increasing rapid growth, we are looking for ambitious and driven individuals to join the JVM team. A successful JVM team member is hard-working, intelligent, and well rounded. We are inspired by people with a good sense of humor, willingness to learn, willingness to succeed, and just plain grit. Our headquarters are located in Downtown Walnut Creek – 20 miles east of San Francisco. Please note that we are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.
