• Maintain accurate loan data in the internal debt management system (Yardi)
• Monitor key compliance items (e.g., insurance renewals, property taxes, financial reporting)
• Support the preparation of loan reviews, investor presentations, and credit memos
• Contribute to market research and underwriting on an ad hoc basis
• Identify process gaps and suggest improvements

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–5 years of experience in loan administration, servicing, or underwriting within commercial real estate lending or commercial banking
• Familiarity with legal documentation and mortgage structures (land, construction, bridge, and inventory loans)
• High attention to detail and comfort managing multiple priorities
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint); experience with Yardi and Power BI is an asset
• University degree in a related field (e.g. business, finance, real estate)

The Offer:

• $60,000-$85,000 + Bonus
