This is an opportunity for a senior underwriter to join a growing property fund, with the aim of becoming Head of Underwriting (managing a team of two) within six months.
The firm is a well-backed lender with a lot of capital to deploy. They provide bridge loans (commercial and residential), commercial mortgages, and ground-up development finance up to £7.5m.
Why should you consider joining them?
- They are institutionally backed, with a rigorous underwriting process, and do things properly.
- You will see a variety of interesting deals.
- Their originators are all ex-bankers who are trained in credit risk, so they only bring quality deals to the table (meaning you're not sifting through lots of deals that don't fit the criteria!).
- They are well-backed and growing, so can offer career stability.
- You can have input into shaping the underwriting processes as they grow.
- They're a nice group of people with a collegiate atmosphere.
- You have flexibility (you need to be in their London office two to three days per week).
