Work on Real Financing Transactions

Financely is hiring a sales representative and specialist underwriters across commercial real estate, trade finance and project finance.

Our work sits between transaction origination, underwriting, structuring and capital placement. The people joining us need to understand the commercial substance of a deal rather than simply process paperwork.

The three underwriting openings are separate positions. A commercial real estate underwriter is not expected to underwrite commodity trades or infrastructure projects, and vice versa.

Origination → Underwriting → Structuring → Placement

Commercial Judgment Matters

Our transactions arrive with different borrowers, assets, contracts, jurisdictions and capital structures. Good analysis means identifying the handful of issues that will determine whether institutional capital can actually be deployed.
