Vice President, Debt Capital Markets - Originations

What if more of the financing opportunities you already see had a path to execution?

The Lanam Group works at the intersection of private credit, commercial finance, and transaction-driven capital needs. We work with established operating businesses, investors, M&A professionals, private equity firms, bankers, and advisors to structure and execute financing solutions with an emphasis on speed, flexibility, and certainty of execution.

Our focus is on established operating businesses, typically generating $10 million to $300 million in annual revenue.

Our capabilities span working capital, C&I, SBA, asset-based lending (ABL), factoring, equipment finance, lines of credit, term loans, unsecured financing, acquisition financing, and private credit.

For professionals who already see transactions and capital needs through their existing relationships, The Lanam Group provides the ability to pursue a wider range of opportunities without being limited to a single balance sheet, mandate, or credit box.

• Build relationships with business owners, CEOs, CFOs, entrepreneurs, investors, and other key decision-makers.
• Identify and originate debt financing opportunities for established operating companies.
• Understand each client's business, capital needs, timing, and objectives.
• Prospect, secure meetings, and create new financing opportunities.
• Develop relationships with bankers, private equity firms, M&A professionals, CPAs, attorneys, advisors, and other referral sources.
• Bring qualified opportunities to The Lanam Group and work with our team through evaluation and execution.
• Maintain an active pipeline and develop relationships that generate repeat business.

The strongest opportunities often have a catalyst, including an acquisition, expansion, large purchase order, equipment need, working capital constraint, delayed receivables, extended customer payment terms, refinancing, recapitalization, growth initiative, or another event creating an immediate need for capital.

• 5+ years of experience in commercial banking, private credit, specialty finance, M&A, private equity, underwriting, portfolio management, commercial finance, or originations.
• Strong understanding of businesses, credit, transactions, and capital structures.
• Existing relationships with business owners, executives, investors, financial professionals, or industry referral sources.
• Ability to recognize meaningful capital needs and identify actionable financing opportunities.
• Confidence communicating with CEOs, CFOs, business owners, investors, and sophisticated financial professionals.
• Strong commercial judgment, responsiveness, and follow-through.
• Comfortable networking, developing relationships, and creating new opportunities.
• Interest in building a book of business and participating directly in the value created from originated transactions.

A traditional originations background is not required. Professionals who have spent their careers underwriting, structuring, approving, managing, advising on, or referring transactions may already have the experience and relationships needed to succeed in this role.

When a business needs capital, timing matters. The Lanam Group is built to evaluate opportunities quickly, determine the appropriate financing strategy, and move qualified transactions forward.

A strong opportunity shouldn't stop because it falls outside one institution's mandate. Our capabilities across traditional and private capital allow us to pursue financing solutions based on the company and the situation, not one predetermined product.

Our team supports the evaluation, structuring, capital process, and transaction execution, allowing you to focus more of your time on relationships, opportunities, and generating new business.

If you've spent years in banking, private credit, M&A, private equity, underwriting, or specialty finance, you've developed valuable financial judgment and relationships.

The Lanam Group gives you the opportunity to put that experience to work across a broader range of financing situations.

Professionals from M&A and private equity are strongly encouraged to apply, even if their background does not perfectly match a traditional originations role.

The Lanam Group works extensively with M&A advisors, investment bankers, independent sponsors, private equity firms, and other transaction professionals. People who understand businesses, capital structures, transaction dynamics, and owner relationships can be exceptionally well positioned for this opportunity.

If you've spent your career evaluating businesses, advising owners, sourcing acquisitions, working with management teams, or structuring transactions, those skills can translate directly into identifying and originating financing opportunities.

The Lanam Group offers a competitive, production-oriented compensation structure with significant upside tied to originated and funded business.

Compensation will be based on experience, relationships, and demonstrated production history.
