About nesto

Nesto is a leading Canadian fintech company founded in Montreal in 2018. Our core mission is to offer a positive, empowering, and transparent property financing experience, simplified from start to finish. We initially started as a digital broker, aiming to make the complex mortgage process more transparent through technology. We quickly evolved to build Canada’s leading online mortgage lending direct-to-consumer platform, where our qualified mortgage experts are supported by advanced technology.

Since then, we have expanded our offering into a robust "mortgage ecosystem" builder, partnering with large financial institutions across Canada. Our first B2B product debuted in 2022 with IG Wealth Management, concurrent with raising a Series C funding round. A critical milestone occurred last year when nesto acquired CMLS Group. This acquisition formed the Nesto Group (under which nesto, CMLS, and its subsidiary brand Intellifi are housed), resulting in a massive increase in scale, with 1,100 employees and $73 billion in mortgage assets under administration.

Why we are hiring

We deliver on our mission by empowering our partners to improve and streamline their mortgage lending operations with the nesto Mortgage Cloud. As Canada's most advanced cloud-based mortgage technology, our SaaS solution offers a best-in-class omnichannel experience. This platform consistently drives volume, boosts productivity, and lowers technology costs.

To drive the execution of our upcoming projects, we are looking to hire four newly created Director-level roles that will report to our VP, Delivery, within the Customer Delivery Organization:

The ultimate goal is to establish strong, lasting partnerships with large financial institutions by ensuring nesto's software solves their toughest problems in the mortgage business. To make this happen, you'll need to set the best practices for the entire implementation process and ensure your team excels as the expert intermediary. The team's core function is to translate customer business and functional challenges into actionable requirements, and ultimately lead the effort to design, implement, and configure the solution that meets the customer's stated needs.
