Be a founder of a business within the Proptech and non-bank lending space Ability to build something from scratch with a launchpad already established for success Utilize a pre-existing technology platform, lending middle office, and broader loan management infrastructure Our client is a leading, non-bank, lending business with expertise across the real estate sector.
Established over a decade ago, the business has grown organically over time and remains privately owned.
The firm offers a wide range of products for real estate development financing, including first mortgages and private lending for commercial, land, or residential properties.
Within the platform, the firm has identified a clear opportunity to carve out the bridge financing product as a separate entity under the umbrella of the business.
This new venture complements the firm's current real estate debt offering and proprietary lending technology.
The business already provides short-term financing solutions to real estate owners, investors, and developers, enabling borrowers to capitalize on time-sensitive opportunities.
The owners of the company can see a clear opportunity to create a new, standalone business from the generalist platform for bridge financing.
The new business will have its own branding, go-to-market strategies, and capital pools, while leveraging the wider group's shared services and administrative infrastructure.
We are seeking a CEO or Managing Director to lead this business.
The role will be responsible for setting the strategic direction, building sales teams, and driving revenue generation.
This will be a "player-coach" role, so the candidate must have experience in building and leading teams within real estate private debt, Fintech, Proptech, or as a Founder.
The nature of this role requires someone entrepreneurial, with a strong inclination toward business building, comfort with being externally facing, and a sales-oriented mindset.
If the candidate comes from a private credit or non-bank lending firm, they should have relationships across broker channels.
If coming from other backgrounds, the candidate must clearly understand the opportunities within the real estate financing market and be able to strategically think about go-to-market strategies.
This is an excellent opportunity to build a business from scratch, with a launchpad already established for success.
The owners of the company have proved themselves to be resilient business builders and are eager to find a candidate who is hungry to build something alongside them.
