• Oversee the underwriting and credit approval process for small balance loans, ensuring alignment with fund guidelines on LTV, debt yield, property type, and market focus.
• Partner with legal, asset management, and operations teams to ensure efficient execution from term sheet through closing and into portfolio management.
• Establish scalable processes, documentation standards, and workflow systems suited to the higher transaction volume of the small balance segment.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on the small balance market, tracking competitor pricing, market trends, and borrower demand to inform strategy.
• Contribute to investor reporting and marketing materials as needed, representing the small balance strategy to fund investors and stakeholders.

Non-Negotiables: Our Core Values

DO THE RIGHT THING: "Integrity, Always"

You operate with the highest ethical standards, even when no one is watching. You do what you said you would do. You treat counterparties and teammates with respect. And you protect Revere's reputation in every interaction.

Your communication builds trust because it's direct, accurate, and grounded in reality. At Revere, integrity is not a preference; it's the expectation.

INNOVATION: "Assume There is a Better Way"

You're wired to solve problems. You don't complain about inefficiency; you solve it. You look for smarter ways to work, better tools to use, and stronger systems to build, especially through technology and AI.

You communicate ideas in a way that moves them forward: clearly, thoughtfully, and with enough substance that others can act on them. You're not just busy; you're effective.

OBJECTIVITY: "Data Decides"

You make decisions grounded in facts, not noise. You pressure-test assumptions, stay disciplined, and don't let momentum, ego, or external pressure override our fundamentals. You understand that objectivity isn't just a personal strength; it's a responsibility.

Data-driven decision-making is how we protect our investors, our performance, and ultimately our firm. You communicate with precision: what you know, what you don't know, what you're assuming, and what you need to validate.

ACCOUNTABILITY: "Own the Outcome"

You don't confuse activity with progress. You take ownership, close loops, and drive execution. When something goes wrong, you don't blame the market, the borrower, or the process; you solve the problem.

You communicate like an owner: proactively, directly, and with solutions, not surprises. You don't wait for someone to ask; you take responsibility for keeping deals and relationships moving.

GRIT: "Do the Hard Work"

You move with urgency and you finish what you start. You're the person people count on to drive work to completion, not just get it in motion. You don't stall in ambiguity or wait for perfect conditions; you find the path and push it forward.

You communicate early, clearly, and often, especially when a deal is at risk, assumptions are changing, or timelines tighten. You don't disappear when things get hard; you step in.
