Schneider first joined Mortgage Choice in 2023, after serving as the former head of broker growth. He took on his new role on 11 March.
Before joining the aggregator and brokerage brand, he was the director of lending distribution at LMG and had been the director of growth at PLAN Australia, Choice Aggregation, and FAST.
He also has more than 18 years of experience in marketing and partnership managerial roles, across both National Australia Bank (NAB) and Choice Aggregation.
Schneider takes over the position from Margie Cannizzo, who is now serving at Australian Financial Group (AFG) as its new state manager of Queensland and northern NSW.
According to Mortgage Choice, Schneider will report to Aaron Slater, the general manager of distribution and work closely with the Victorian and Tasmanian franchise development managers.
Slater commented on Schneider’s appointment, stating: “We’re thrilled that Tim has accepted this role.
“He has an impressive background in mortgage aggregation, with a proven track record in partnering with brokers to grow their businesses.
“Leveraging this experience, Tim will support our 180 franchisees in Victoria and Tasmania, and their teams, to achieve great business results.”
Schneider commented: “I’m excited to be moving into this new role to support our incredible franchisees and their teams across Victoria and Tasmania.
“I’m looking forward to spending time with our network over the coming months to get under the hood of these businesses so we can develop tailored support interventions to help our franchisees reach their goals.
“I’m extremely lucky to have an experienced team of FDMs, and I’m looking forward to working with them to help our network thrive.”
Mortgage Choice partnered with the digital lender Athena Home Loans last year to launch a series of mortgage products to help borrowers avoid ‘loyalty tax’.
