Credit Manager

Credit Manager

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Salary: $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
