• Qualify and onboard new wholesale partners, ensuring they have the tools, training, and resources needed to submit and close deals.

• Educate partners on Splitero's guidelines, pricing, and processes through product presentations, webinars, and one-on-one calls.

• Maintain consistent follow-up cadences with both prospective and existing partners to drive pipeline activity and deal flow.

• Collaborate with Account Executives to transition warm, high-potential partner relationships and ensure a seamless handoff.

• Track all partner interactions, pipeline activity, and deal flow accurately in Salesforce CRM.

• Participate in industry events, trade shows, and networking opportunities to build brand presence and generate new partner leads.

• Provide field feedback to the Marketing and Product teams to help shape messaging, collateral, and product development.

• Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly KPIs, including outreach activity, new partners onboarded, and funded deal volume sourced.

This role offers on-target earnings of $110,000 per year, including a $50,000 base, paid hourly, and uncapped monthly commissions.

About Us

Millions of homeowners in today’s economy are sitting on substantial home equity that they are unable to access due to rising interest rates and strict qualification requirements of traditional lenders. That means millions of homeowners can’t convert their hard-earned equity into cash to pay off debt, start a home renovation, or pad their retirement to better their lives.

Splitero co-founders Michael Gifford and David Zvaifler witnessed the problem firsthand throughout their real estate careers. They set out to create a win-win product that could help those homeowners access their home equity but not make monthly payments like traditional financing options. And thus, Splitero was born.
