This role looks different from traditional marketing, but it isn't less marketing — it's marketing built for an audience that responds to research, credibility, and expertise rather than volume. You'll shape thought leadership, market intelligence, and sales-facing materials that directly support account penetration and pipeline growth, including deep research and analytical support for our Market Opportunity Report, led by Correspondent Sales, which sizes the non-Agency / non-QM correspondent landscape and shapes go-to-market objectives and tactics. This is a player-coach role — you'll set the strategy and lead quarterly business reviews with the sales team, while staying hands-on with the content and relationships that build our credibility over time.

Why This Role Matters:

Correspondent sellers are a deliberate, research-driven audience who decide whether to trust us before they ever sit down with sales — and that trust directly shapes which accounts open up and how fast they move.

It gives this channel a dedicated owner instead of a shared, stretched resource — one whose work shows up directly in account penetration and pipeline results, not just brand perception.
