Job openings at Flourish

Since 2017, Flourish has been on a mission to help financial advisors evolve from holistic advice to holistic implementation to better serve their clients and grow their businesses. We focus on independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), delivering financial products that advisors can’t easily access today through beautiful, scalable, and easy-to-use technology.

Today, we work with over 1,100 RIAs that collectively represent more than $2.6T in assets under management across three products: Flourish Cash, Flourish Lending, and Flourish Annuities. Headquartered in New York City, we are an independently-operating, wholly-owned subsidiary of MassMutual Life Insurance Company.

About You

You are an ambitious self-starter who is looking to join a new division of a fast-growing fintech  as one our first Mortgage Loan Officers. You love providing truly white-glove client support and have excellent communication and problem-solving skills — with an established track record of successfully managing a large pipeline of home loans. With deep knowledge of the mortgage industry, you can leverage your consultative skills to help educate clients on the best available products to them.

You’re equally adept at working with internal partners across the organization as you are in gracefully handling complicated communication directly with clients.
