Job Description

Join a team where your work helps finance projects that strengthen communities and expand access to affordable housing. You will own meaningful, high-visibility closings and partner with cross-functional teams to deliver a great client experience. This role offers growth through exposure to complex commercial real estate structures and expanding responsibilities across the closing lifecycle. If you are detail-driven, calm under deadlines, and enjoy coordinating moving parts, you will thrive here.
