What the job involves

- You’ll work directly with founders, move fast, and get stuff done
- If you’ve sold into banks and want more ownership, this is your role

- You’ll lead sales from top to bottom
- Define our go-to-market motion
- Build and convert pipeline
- Close multi-year SaaS contracts with regulated lenders
- Shape pricing, messaging, and ICP strategy
- Feed insights into product and commercial decisions
- You’ll be the face of Mast to new clients, and lay the foundation for our future sales function
- Own the full sales cycle: outbound to close

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Digitisation within the mortgage industry has been slow, with many lenders still relying on paper based processes. Mast provides cloud-native technology to help mortgage lenders save costs, underwrite more applications and deliver new levels of service. Their products allow lenders to operate more efficiently, react faster to changing market conditions, and focus on offering the best service possible.
The platform allows lenders to improve the origination process and increase conversions while delivering a top-class service, enabling faster lending decisions. In late 2021 Mast announced a partnership with MBS Lending, a subsidiary of the Melton Building Society to launch an online mortgage application portal. As MBS is the first lender to adopt the Mast broker portal the success of the partnership will prove pivotal for Mast's long term prospects.

Company values
- People: Customers or employees, people always come first. People build technology to serve people. We are at the service of people, always.
- Integrity: Always do the right thing and what is best for everyone
- Candid Feedback: Giving and receiving feedback well is the one of the most important traits for learning. At Mast, anyone can voice their opinion, criticise ideas and call us out when we don't do things well, with the aim of promoting growth.
- Self awareness: We are all humans, we are all flawed and none of us know everything – and that should never be a limiting factor. It's okay to make mistakes, as long as you are happy to ask for help and want to learn. We succeed as a team.
- Reliability: We invest heavily in infrastructure, design and great service. Trust and reputation is a pillar of our identity.
- Honesty and transparency: We provide a safe and open environment. We rely on truthful and transparent communication to ensure that the best ideas win.
- Pursuit of excellence: Everything we do, we do well or we don’t do at all. Even the things that we don’t see at the surface. Excellence is in the process and in the details. The rest will take care of itself.

- At Mast, we believe that building a faster, simpler future for lending starts with diverse teams. As we help lenders become more efficient and easier to work with, it’s essential that the technology we build reflects the full range of people and communities it serves. Lending affects everyone but not always equally. That’s why we’re committed to creating solutions that reduce bias, promote access, and improve the mortgage journey for all. Diverse perspectives help us build better products, ask better questions, and drive fairer outcomes. This is an ongoing journey and we’re committed to learning, improving, and sharing along the way. If you’re passionate about making lending better for everyone, Mast is a place where you can truly make a difference.
