  • Own Salesforce data integrity for your team’s files
  • Act as a player coach, originating ~5 loans per month but more as market/team capacity dictates
  • Attend meetings as a stand in for Sales Manager, as required; be an ambassador for OHL within the Orchard organization
  • Assist Sales Manager in building and maintaining relationships with wholesale lender partners
