About this role.
LendingTree is seeking a Utah Lending Manager to support its legal department's business licensing function in a remote role with occasional travel to Charlotte. The position centers on maintaining the Utah Lending Manager license, completing annual continuing education, and communicating with legal stakeholders. Candidates must hold an active Mortgage Loan Originator license and demonstrate at least three years of active full-time licensed lending experience within the past five years, including at least 45 first-lien residential mortgages. This is a compliance-focused mortgage licensing role rather than a traditional consumer-facing loan-production position. The posting explicitly offers full-time employment and discloses compensation of $15 per hour, depending on experience.

Sample interview questions
I maintain a compliance calendar for renewals, required continuing education, attestations, and documentation. I also monitor regulatory updates and keep records organized so that license status and supporting materials can be verified quickly.
I have supported and originated first-lien residential mortgage transactions throughout my lending career, ensuring that borrower documentation, disclosures, underwriting conditions, and licensing obligations were handled accurately and on time.
I would schedule the required education well before the renewal deadline, confirm that coursework meets Utah and NMLS requirements, retain completion evidence, and communicate completion status to the legal or compliance team.
I would provide a concise summary of the issue, relevant dates, affected license or jurisdiction, applicable requirements, risk assessment, and recommended next steps. I would preserve supporting documentation and escalate promptly when a deadline or compliance risk exists.
I follow written policies, validate information before acting, document decisions, and raise concerns early when facts are incomplete or a requirement may not be met. In a regulated environment, protecting consumers and maintaining licensure must take priority over shortcuts.
PLEASE NOTE: Open to remote candidates; however, occasional travel to Charlotte may be required.
