VP of Sales & Production (Producing Manager) - Orange County, CA

Our client, an established Orange County–based private credit lender, is conducting a confidential search for a VP of Sales & Production. This hands-on senior leadership role reports directly to the Founder and CEO. It is designed for a proven producer who will continue to originate while building, leading, and holding accountable a wholesale origination team.

The organization knows that a great salesperson doesn't always make a great sales manager. They are looking for someone who has proven both: a strong personal book of business and a track record of developing others into successful producers.

• Bring meaningful personal production and continue growing your own book of business

• Build out the wholesale origination team by recruiting, hiring, and developing originators

• Lead, coach, and hold originators accountable to production and quality goals

• Grow mortgage broker and referral partner relationships across Southern California

• Partner with Operations and Underwriting to deliver well-structured loans that protect investor capital

• Work directly with the CEO and senior leadership on sales strategy and growth

• A proven track record of strong personal production in private money, hard money, bridge, or non-QM lending

• Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and developing originators, with results to show for it

• Wholesale or broker-channel experience strongly preferred

• An established network of mortgage broker and referral relationships in Southern California

• A disciplined approach to credit quality and deal structure

• Experience recruiting and building a sales team

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
