What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior CRE Loan Originator - Fintech position at JOBS by allUP?
About our client
Nectar is a profitable, venture-backed fintech lender that plugs liquidity gaps for experienced commercial-real-estate owners. They make $300K – $5 MM investments in mezzanine debt and preferred equity so sponsors can renovate, acquire, or recapitalize stabilized, cash-flowing assets. They aim to close deals in days, not months.
Their thesis is simple: speed creativity prudent credit = outsized risk-adjusted returns. To keep that edge, they invest heavily in AI-powered underwriting, process automation—and in the originators who drive their deal engine.
Why This Role Is Different
- Real Ownership – The person in this role will control a material slice of originations and help steer pricing, product tweaks, and go-to-market strategy alongside the CEO.
- White-Space Opportunity – Nectar has funded 100 deals to date; the mandate for this role is to double that in the next 12 months.
- Tech-Enabled Speed – Their underwriting decisions land in < 48 hours thanks to proprietary automations—giving a tangible edge with brokers and borrowers.
- Clear Line to Wealth – Uncapped commissions, participation in deal economics, and equity eligibility after the first over-target year.
What You’ll Do
- Source & Close $30m / yr of qualified mezz/preferred-equity transactions.
- Own the full cycle—from first outreach through diligence, term-sheet negotiation, credit committee, and funding.
- Expand the referral network of mortgage bankers, broker-dealers, RIAs, and family offices; turn relationships into repeatable quarterly volume.
- Partner with Marketing to test campaigns, craft collateral, and headline webinars/panels that position Nectar as the smartest money in small-balance CRE.
- Pilot new tools—be on the cutting edge of the industry as Nectar rolls out AI co-pilots for prospecting, data extraction, and deal structuring.
- Manage relationships—originators are the relationship owners through the full cycle, able to generate future business and help with servicing needs as they arise.
What Makes You a Fit
- 5 years generating and closing CRE debt or equity (mezz/pref/bridge/agency experience all welcome).
- Documented hunter: $50 MM sourced in the last 24 months and a CRM kept clean.
- Fluency in DSCR, CLTV, NOI drivers—and how to structure around them.
- Rolodex of active sponsors, mortgage bankers, and capital advisors nationwide.
- Startup or high-growth DNA: iterates fast, embraces ambiguity, and defaults to action.

- Interest and willingness to work with the tech team to build and utilize new technology.
