About the role

About Vesta

Owning a home is a foundational part of building financial security and wealth in America. However, the tools and technology that support homeownership are antiquated, dependent on things like fax machines, handwritten documentation, and hours of manual review. We're here to change it. Vesta is the next-generation system of record to power the multi-trillion mortgage market. We believe that we are overdue for a core transformation – that in order to build a fully automated process and fully digital customer journeys, lenders will have to adopt a system of record platform that is modern, open, and orchestrated by best-in-class software workflows.

Our founding team is no stranger to the complexities of the financial industry. As early employees at Blend, they spent years together focused on creating modern cloud infrastructure for banks. Now, with Vesta, they are transforming the mortgage industry by creating the most flexible, open and automated origination experience, benefiting financial institutions and their customers. And, we're not alone. We've raised $55M from top tier investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, Conversion Capital, Zigg Capital, and Index Ventures. We believe that our team is our greatest competitive advantage and take pride in having a team of exceptional humans. As a team, we value humility, empathy, self-awareness, and an orientation towards action. If this sounds like you and you're excited by the idea of getting in at the ground level to be part of building the infrastructure that will power the future of the finance industry, we would love to hear from you!

Who You Are

You know the best talent isn't just browsing LinkedIn looking for a job. You go out and find them, and you know how to make them want to learn more. You think creatively about where to find talent that others miss. You're not running the same playbook as every other recruiter hitting the same LinkedIn profiles. You find angles through communities, networks, niche channels, and warm intros, and you build pipelines out of them. Creativity is core to how you work, not a nice-to-have. You're also a strong writer and storyteller. You understand that the best candidates have options, and a generic outreach message gets ignored. You craft messages that are specific, thoughtful, and compelling. Ones that make someone feel like Vesta was written for the next chapter of their career. You know how to articulate what makes Vesta special and why now is the right moment to join. You're highly proficient with modern sourcing tools and AI-native in how you use them. You use Claude, ChatGPT, and purpose-built recruiting AI not because it's trendy, but because they genuinely make you better. Sharper outreach, faster research, better signal. You're constantly finding new ways to automate the repetitive work so you can focus on the high-judgment calls. You're comfortable running high volume. You can carry a meaningful req load, keep multiple pipelines healthy at once, and still bring the same level of intentionality to every candidate you touch. You've built habits and systems that let you move fast without losing quality. And you hold the bar. You'd rather keep a req open than move the wrong person forward.
