Build Your Career with Evolution Capital Group
Evolution Capital Advisors is the advisory division of Evolution Capital Group, a rapidly growing commercial finance and capital advisory platform that has facilitated more than $500 million in commercial financing transactions since 2015.
We help business owners, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and lower middle-market companies secure financing solutions ranging from $100,000 to over $50 million through an extensive network of banks, SBA lenders, private credit funds, family offices, institutional lenders, and alternative capital providers.
Unlike firms that specialize in a single lending product, our platform delivers sophisticated financing solutions across commercial lending, SBA, asset-based lending, commercial real estate, acquisition finance, revenue-based financing, structured credit, and institutional capital.
As we continue expanding, we're looking for an experienced Commercial Finance Underwriter | Funding & Transaction Manager to become one of the foundational members of our growing team.
About the Opportunity
This is not a traditional back-office administrative position.
We're looking for someone who has been in the trenches—someone who understands what it takes to move commercial financing transactions from application to funding.
More importantly, we're looking for someone who takes ownership of every transaction, anticipates challenges before they arise, solves problems proactively, and drives deals through to closing.
You may have packaged SBA loans, processed commercial mortgages, coordinated MCA funding, managed ABL transactions, reviewed borrower financials, or worked as an underwriter, processor, or funding coordinator at a bank, lender, brokerage, or commercial finance company.
If you're the person everyone relies on to keep deals moving and get transactions funded, you'll fit in well here.
You'll work directly alongside experienced CPAs, former commercial bankers, entrepreneurs, and capital advisors while supporting complex financing transactions across virtually every area of commercial finance.
What You'll Do:
Commercial Underwriting & Loan Packaging
- Review borrower financial statements, tax returns, bank statements, borrowing base reports, and supporting documentation.
- Analyze financing requests and identify the most appropriate lending solutions.
- Prepare lender-ready credit memorandums, underwriting summaries, and financing packages.
- Package transactions for banks, SBA lenders, private credit funds, ABL lenders, commercial mortgage lenders, and institutional capital providers.
- Identify documentation deficiencies before submission to maximize approval rates and minimize funding delays.
Transaction & Funding Management
- Manage transactions from signed application through funding.
- Coordinate borrowers, advisors, lenders, attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents, title companies, and referral partners.
- Manage investor and lender conditions and documentation requests.
- Proactively monitor transaction milestones and keep deals moving toward closing.
- Coordinate funding logistics and verify all closing conditions have been satisfied.
- Ensure every transaction is accurate, complete, compliant, and funding-ready.
CRM & Operations
- Maintain accurate CRM records and transaction updates.
- Monitor pipeline activity and advisor production.
- Prepare weekly pipeline reports and operational metrics.
- Help improve workflows, automation, technology, and operational efficiency.
- Support leadership with reporting, analytics, and strategic operational initiatives.

You'll work on transactions ranging from $100,000 working capital facilities to $50MM institutional financings, developing a breadth of experience that few professionals in the industry ever achieve.
