Our client is a seed-stage fintech company building partner-driven lending programs across healthcare and other business markets.

This is not a pure broker role.
This is not a pure underwriting role.
This is not a generic program manager role.

The job is simple to understand: turn a major healthcare partner channel into closed deals and funded volume.

What You'll Do

• Own and scale a healthcare partner lending program
• Use partner data to spot financing needs
• Match borrowers to the right lender categories
• Build lender panels by product type
• Activate healthcare lending and specialty finance relationships
• Drive closed deals and funded volume
• Work with data, tech, lending, and partner teams
• Build repeatable execution without slowing things down
• Keep focus on one major partner program

What Success Looks Like

Success is measured by:

• Deals closed
• Funded volume
• Program revenue
• Lender panels built by product category
• Right lenders matched to the right deal types
• Partner sales and data motion activated
• Major partner relationship producing revenue

The company already has partner relationships, data, program hypotheses, and lender connectivity. This is not a blank slate. They need someone to focus the program, bring lender-market judgment, and make the channel produce.

Must-Haves

• 5+ years in commercial lending or specialty finance
• Healthcare lending or healthcare-adjacent finance exposure
• Experience with borrowers, lenders, or capital providers
• Funded deal, origination, placement, or lending program experience
• Strong lender-market knowledge by deal type
• Ability to assess borrower profiles and lender fit
• Comfort using data to prioritize opportunity
• Startup-ready pace and ownership

Relevant Backgrounds

Strong candidates may come from:

• Healthcare lending
• Equipment finance
• Healthcare real estate lending
• Specialty finance
• Private credit
• Commercial finance brokerage
• ABL, factoring, or receivables finance
• Lending marketplaces
• Bank healthcare lending groups
• Non-bank commercial lenders
• Lender partnerships or capital markets roles

You do not need to have built a healthcare lending platform from zero.

You do need to know how lending actually gets done, how lenders think, and how to turn deal flow into funded volume.

Strongly Preferred

• Healthcare equipment finance experience
• Healthcare real estate lending experience
• Provider or healthcare services lending exposure
• Existing lender relationships
• Private credit or non-bank lender experience
• Experience building lender panels
• Experience supporting partner-led lending programs
• Experience using Excel, CRM, borrower, or partner data
• Experience guiding brokers, originators, or BDOs

You Should Be Able To Answer

• Which lenders care about this borrower?
• Is this equipment finance, ABL, working capital, or something else?
• What information is missing before we take this to market?
• Which lenders move fast on this profile?
• Which lenders will waste our time?
• How should we build the lender panel?
• How do we turn this from one-off brokerage into repeatable execution?

Not A Fit If You Are Only

• A pure underwriter
• A pure analyst
• A generic program manager
• A broker who only relies on manual hustle
• A large-bank operator who needs heavy infrastructure
• A narrow product specialist
• A process-heavy operator who wants SOPs before outcomes

Perks & Pay

• Base salary: $160K-$180K
• Target bonus: $40K-$70K
• Target cash comp: $220K-$250K
• Equity through a standard employee equity plan
• Program override tied to funded volume and program revenue
• No hard cap on override for exceptional performance

Company Stage & Setup

• Seed-stage fintech
• Team of about 12
• Revenue under $10M
• Generally 12-24 months of runway
• Capital-efficient model
• No direct balance sheet lending exposure
• Remote accepted
• New York or Charlotte preferred
• Charlotte travel at least quarterly, possibly monthly

Why This Role Matters

The company works with large partner organizations that have access to broad networks of small and middle-market businesses.

Your work turns that access into lending outcomes.

You will use data, lender relationships, and commercial judgment to help businesses find the right capital provider. The goal is not more process. The goal is more closed deals, more funded volume, and a lending program that can scale.

Motivation Fit

You like ownership.
You like lending markets.
You like messy early-stage problems.
You can think systematically without hiding behind process.
You can talk to lenders, borrowers, founders, and operators.

If you want a clean corporate lane, this is not it.

If you want to own a high-upside healthcare lending program early, this is worth a look.
