Job description

We are partnering with a fast-growing financing firm to hire a Senior Underwriter for their revenue-based financing business. This is the first senior underwriting hire and a ground-floor opportunity to define underwriting standards, protect the portfolio, and partner directly with leadership as the company scales.

Defined

As a Senior Underwriter, you will be the trusted final decision-maker on merchant cash advance and revenue-based financing deals (average size ~$50k). You'll run merchant interviews, conduct deep risk analysis, and structure offers that balance competitiveness with repayment sustainability. This role sets the tone for risk culture and has a clear path to Director of Underwriting or CRO.

Why This Role is Essential

Sound underwriting is the backbone of sustainable financing. Your ability to analyze repayment capacity, evaluate risks, and protect the portfolio ensures capital is deployed responsibly and the business can scale with integrity.

Background

Great candidates for this role may come from :

  • 5+ years of revenue-based financing or merchant cash advance underwriting experience
  • Proven ownership of final underwriting decisions, not just junior or pre-fill work
  • Experience with A / B paper deals (~$1M revenue businesses, 600-700 FICO, strong payment history)
  • Track record of conducting merchant interviews and probing repayment risk
  • Steady career progression without chronic job-hopping

What You'll Do

  • Lead final underwriting for MCA / revenue-based financing deals (~$50k average size)
  • Conduct repayment capacity reviews, default analysis, and portfolio risk assessments
  • Run direct interviews with merchants to evaluate needs, risks, and financing suitability
  • Collaborate with junior underwriters and pricers to structure balanced offers
  • Protect the firm's capital by acting with a portfolio manager mindset
  • Skills and Competencies

    Required :

  • 5+ years of MCA / revenue-based financing experience with final underwriting responsibility
  • Strong analytical skills for repayment, default, and risk evaluation
  • Comfort running direct merchant interviews and assessing repayment honesty
  • Integrity, resilience, and ability to thrive in a competitive industry
  • Willingness to be onsite daily in Miami (relocation supported)
  • Desired :

  • Experience mentoring junior underwriters or leading risk culture
  • Background in firms such as Credibly, Fox Funding, Vox, Libertas, Wallstreet Funding, Simply (avoid CFG / Specialty Capital)
  • Portfolio protection mindset with a record of long-term success in deal screening
  • What's In It for You

  • Competitive base salary ($80k-$120k) plus performance upside (OTE : 150-$200K)
  • Direct CEO exposure and leadership visibility
  • Ground-floor role with clear growth into Director or CRO
  • Relocation assistance and medical benefits provided
  • Create a job alert for this search
