Vice President, Lender Partnerships

Apex is hiring a full-time Vice President of Lender Partnerships, based in New York, NY, who has led commercial real estate originations at a lender, debt fund or capital markets firm. You'll sell Apex to lenders: bring CRE lenders onto the platform, learn what each one funds, and grow those relationships as deals close.

Apex ( is a commercial financing platform. We match deals with lenders across private credit and debt funds, banks and specialty finance, and our proprietary AI sourcing tools find borrowers and bring lenders a steady flow of deals that fit what they fund. This role owns the lender side of that marketplace and suits a former VP or Director of Originations who knows how CRE lenders decide what to fund and already has relationships across them.

What you'll do

• Introduce lenders from your network to Apex and win new lender relationships, including debt funds, bridge lenders, banks, life companies and specialty finance firms.

• Show lenders how Apex's AI sourcing and matching put the right deals in front of them.

• Understand each lender's criteria, deal size and appetite, and make sure our team captures it accurately on the platform.

• Work with Apex's team on lender onboarding, deal matching and follow-up, and own each lender relationship from first conversation to repeat closings.

What we're looking for

• Experience as a VP, Director or senior originator in commercial real estate lending or capital markets, at a lender, debt fund, bank or mortgage banking firm.

• Direct relationships with CRE lenders and capital providers, with a realistic plan for bringing them to Apex.

• A clear understanding of how CRE lenders underwrite and size bridge, acquisition and refinance loans.

• Comfort working in an early-stage company: independent, fast and hands-on.
