We're a VA-approved lender and FHA Non-Supervised Lender with a reputation for speed, service, and doing right by our borrowers. Our team is performance-driven, collaborative, and growing — and we're looking for people who want to grow with us.

The Inside Sales Associate is the first voice a prospective borrower hears at Griffin Funding — and that first impression matters. In this role, you'll work a steady flow of warm, actively interested leads, making high-volume outbound calls to connect with borrowers, gather qualifying information, and hand them off to a Loan Officer ready to close.

This is not a passive role. Success here requires discipline, energy, and a genuine love for being on the phone. You'll be expected to dial consistently, keep your pipeline meticulously organized, and follow up until you get an answer. The leads are there — the systems are built to support you. What you bring is the drive to execute.

For the right person, this role is also a career launch. ISAs who learn the business, build their skills, and perform consistently have a direct path into a Loan Officer position at Griffin Funding.
