COMPANY


LendingTree is the nation’s largest online lending marketplace. That means we connect customers with multiple lenders so they find the best deals on loans, credit cards, savings accounts and insurance. Our goal is to help people save money, and we believe the best way to do that is by giving them a way to shop for loans and compare lenders so they make their best financial choices.


Our CEO Doug Lebda founded the company in 1996 after a frustrating house-hunting experience. In those days, we mostly helped people find good mortgage deals. Now, we help consumers find their best in personal loans, auto loans, business loans, student loans, credit cards, savings accounts, home equity loans and more.


What else you should know:



  • We’re a publicly-traded company (TREE).

  • We’ve welcomed several other companies into the LendingTree family to augment our efforts at helping borrowers make their most sensible financial choices.

  • We’ve built the LendingTree app and LendingTree dashboard to give consumers tools to manage and monitor their financial health.


The pay range for this position in Colorado/New York/California is $70,000-$75,000 however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience


Incentive Compensation: Eligible for annual performance bonus                  


Benefits: Medical, dental, vision insurance and 401(k) matching


CULTURE


We’re a fast-paced company with an entrepreneurial bend. We work hard and test our products often. We’re collaborative, ambitious, candid and high-energy. Our teammates are some of the brightest, most talented people you’ll ever work with. We care more about your smarts than we do about the kinds of clothes you wear (but please, do wear clothes to work!), and we’re pretty good about rewarding innovation, creativity and the knack for just getting stuff done (we even have an award for employees called the GSD, “Get Stuff Done”).


Come work with us!
