Job Description
Credit Manager | Los Angeles, CA | $105K – $115K + Bonus
Not every credit role is about maintaining the status quo.
Some are about building something — shaping strategy, influencing deals, and having a real seat at the table.
We're partnering with a fast-growing, private specialty finance firm in Los Angeles that's doing exactly that. As they continue to scale, they're looking to bring on a Credit Manager who wants to go beyond underwriting and step into a true business partner + leader role.
This isn't a back-office credit seat. You'll be in the middle of the action — working alongside originations, structuring deals, and helping drive smart, strategic growth.
What You'll Step Into
You'll take ownership of the credit function — leading underwriting decisions while helping shape the bigger picture.
- Drive credit strategy and approval processes
- Evaluate complex deals (equipment, asset-backed, real estate-secured)
- Partner directly with sales/originations to get deals done
- Monitor portfolio performance and risk
- Mentor and develop up-and-coming analysts
- Help refine and elevate credit policies as the company grows
What You Bring
- 5–10+ years in commercial credit, underwriting, or lending
- Experience in equipment finance, ABL, or CRE
- Strong financial analysis + risk instincts
- Ability to balance smart risk-taking with deal execution
- Leadership or mentorship experience (or ready to step into it)
Why This Role Stands Out
Because you won't just be reviewing deals — you'll be influencing outcomes.
- Direct exposure to executive leadership
- A voice in credit strategy and company growth
- Fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment (far from a traditional bank)
- Clear runway toward senior credit leadership
