The Opportunity
We’re seeking a motivated, ambitious, and detail-oriented Lending Operations Officer to join our private/hard money lending team. We originate first-lien business-purpose loans for residential real estate investors, funding an average of $10M across 40 loans monthly. The ideal candidate has lending operations experience and is eager to help scale a small, fast-growing program into a streamlined, high-performing operation.
This is a key role with significant growth potential, requiring initiative, ownership, and strong cross-functional collaboration. The position starts with learning about our borrower clientele, loan programs, current systems and how the internal teams interact together. You will drive operational improvements—evaluating and potentially transitioning to third-party loan origination software, managing vendor relationships, creating protocols and training materials, and overseeing the implementation. You will work closely with our private lending team, software team, and executive management.
