Dallas, TX
A rapidly growing private real estate lender is hiring a Underwriter to join their team. With $3B in loans funded, they continue to expand their footprint in residential lending.
In this role, you'll work closely with residential builders and developers to evaluate loan applications, assess borrower qualifications, and ensure alignment with company and investor guidelines. You'll collaborate with a credit team of five.

- Exposure Mapping & Mitigation: Pinpoint market, build, timeline, and exit risks; shape terms (reserves, covenants, collateral) to offset them.
- Committee Briefings: Produce tight decision memos and risk snapshots; present and shepherd packages through leadership/credit review.
- Controls & Requirements: Keep every deal aligned with internal credit frameworks, investor parameters, and applicable lending rules.
- Partner Interface: Serve as the go-to between loan officers, borrowers, brokers, and internal teams to keep diligence unblocked.
- C-Suite Initiatives: Support the Chief Underwriter on ad-hoc analyses, portfolio looks, and priority special assignments.
Underwriter Qualifications:
- 2+ years of mortgage/banking experience and/or related industry experience in construction, real estate and/or private equity.
