- Lead initial borrower discussions and determine strategic fit.
- Structure financing solutions that satisfy borrower needs while meeting fund investment objectives.
- Prepare and negotiate indicative terms, letters of intent, and term sheets.
- Maintain an active pipeline of qualified lending opportunities and provide accurate forecasting.
- Develop long-term relationships that generate repeat business and referrals.
- Work collaboratively with investment professionals to ensure a smooth transition from origination through closing.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience originating commercial lending or private credit transactions.
- Demonstrated history of originating loans in the $5 million to $50 million range.
- Proven ability to execute a high annual volume of term sheets and maintain a robust pipeline.
- Established network of borrower, intermediary, sponsor, and banking relationships.
- Strong understanding of credit structures, collateral, loan documentation, and commercial finance.
- Excellent negotiation and relationship management skills.
- Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with underwriting and portfolio management teams.
