CRE Loan Underwriter
Fully Remote | Base $110k, $125k all in
A growing private lending platform is looking for a CRE Loan Underwriter to own credit decisions from first look through close. This is not a bank underwriting seat. You will not be doing 60 to 90 day closes on the safest deals in the book. You will be underwriting real risk, moving fast, and building the credit case yourself.
What the role actually is
You will underwrite across the full deal lifecycle, from initial screening through closing, on bridge, DSCR, and fix and flip transactions. You will write your own credit and debt memos rather than handing analysis off to someone else. You will work directly with borrowers, brokers, and internal stakeholders, so this is a client facing seat, not a back office one.
Who we want
Someone who has underwritten outside a traditional bank, at a debt fund, bridge lender, or CMBS platform, and is used to evaluating higher LTV, faster moving deals rather than the safest, slowest paper. CMBS exposure is a strong plus. DSCR and fix and flip lending experience is a strong plus. What matters most is that you can own a deal end to end, build the credit memo yourself, and move at the pace private credit requires.
What this role is not
This is not a fit for someone whose underwriting experience is entirely within a bank’s credit committee process, and it is not a fit for someone used to long close timelines and conservative LTVs. We need someone who has already worked in the faster, riskier end of CRE lending and is comfortable there.
Start date
End of August, fully remote, reporting into a small, hands on lending team.
