Senior Underwriter

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
