Military and Veteran Careers

Jordan

After graduating from college at thirty three years old, I was unsure if I would be able to put my finance degree to use in a new career. Fortunately, a leader at Flagstar looked beyond just my degree and could see that the addition of my military experience would translate to sound risk management, communication, and regulatory compliance in banking.

The structure, training, and skills that I gained in the Coast Guard turned out to be instrumental in my transition from the military to Flagstar. This bank offers extensive support for veterans and actively seeks the qualities that they can bring to the workplace. I'm looking forward to a long second career at Flagstar!

Transitioning from military to civilian life presents challenges, but the core values of leadership, integrity, discipline, accountability, and commitment remain crucial. Leadership involves serving others, empowering teams, and maintaining calm under pressure. Integrity is essential for trust and success in both military and business. Discipline ensures consistency and results. Accountability requires owning both successes and failures, vital for trust and performance. Commitment drives long-term vision and strong teams. These principles, unchanged by context, are what I proudly bring to Flagstar.

Transitioning from a 20-year career as a naval officer and aviator has been an incredibly rewarding journey for me. Leaving the Navy to prioritize my family was a significant decision, and while I encountered some challenges,
I embraced the opportunity to grow.

Joining Flagstar opened new doors, and I was inspired to create a veterans ERG to support fellow veterans. This initiative has fostered both personal and professional growth, bridging the gap between military and civilian life.

At Flagstar, I’ve found an environment where my experiences are valued, and I've witnessed a positive shift in how veterans are appreciated within the company. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling experience, and I’m proud to contribute to a culture that recognizes the unique strengths we bring.
