Non-QM wholesale lender serving underserved borrowers through broker partnerships
Champions Funding is a CDFI-designated wholesale lender focused exclusively on non-qualified mortgage (Non-QM) lending to borrowers with non-traditional credit profiles. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (8 of 18 active roles), with secondary expansion in finance and ops, indicating a broker acquisition and channel-scaling phase. Tech stack centers on HubSpot, Encompass (mortgage workflow), and BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), while projects signal simultaneous focus on underwriting policy maturation, broker onboarding automation, and cloud data infrastructure — typical of a lender moving from manual workflows to repeatable, data-driven operations.
