Reports To: CEO
The Role East Harbor Financial is hiring a Deal Originator to source, structure, and advance new lending opportunities across marine vessels, aircraft, real estate, and commercial vehicles. This is a revenue-generating seat — you’ll own the pipeline from initial sourcing through credit committee presentation and underwriting handoff. Our team closes deals in 2–4 weeks, and a full-production originator here can realistically book well into six figures with commission.

Source and evaluate new lending opportunities through broker relationships, direct outreach, and industry events
Build and manage a referral network of intermediaries, attorneys, financial advisors, and deal brokers across our target asset classes
Perform preliminary credit analysis — borrower financials, tax returns, collateral valuation, and deal sizing — before advancing to underwriting
Structure deal terms alongside our CFO — loan amount, rate, LTV, and collateral requirements
Present deals to our credit committee with a clear investment thesis and risk assessment
Maintain pipeline reporting and deal flow visibility to senior leadership
Conduct due diligence coordination with borrowers, attorneys, and third-party vendors
Represent the firm at conferences and networking events in marine, aviation, real estate, and specialty finance
Required
3+ years in deal origination, business development, or relationship management in lending, private credit, or financial services
We prioritize capability over tenure — if you have fewer years but can demonstrate sharp analytical thinking and a strong body of work, we want to hear from you
Demonstrated ability to source and close deals — we value results over resumes
Accounting or finance background with comfort in financial modeling, reading financials, and analyzing tax returnsn>
Existing network in marine, real estate, aircraft, or the broker community that serves these asset classes
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
Preferred
Direct experience in private credit, specialty lending, or alternative lending
Familiarity with UCC filings, title/lien searches, collateral valuation, or asset-based lending structures
Experience presenting to credit committees or investment committees
Bilingual English/Spanish
