Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are seeking a driven, results-oriented SBA 7(a) Business Development Officer with a strong hunter mentality and an established network of influence (COI) to generate new business and develop relationships with small business owners.

This individual will be responsible for identifying, pursuing, and developing new lending opportunities within the SBA 7(a) space. The ideal candidate is a proactive sales professional who enjoys building relationships from the ground up, sourcing their own leads, and working directly with small business owners to understand their financing needs.

This is an opportunity for a self-motivated business development professional who thrives in a relationship-driven, entrepreneurial environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, pursue, and develop new SBA 7(a) lending opportunities through outbound prospecting, networking, referrals, and relationship building.
• Leverage an established Center of Influence (COI) network, including CPAs, accountants, attorneys, business brokers, financial advisors, and other referral partners.
• Build and maintain relationships with small business owners, entrepreneurs, and prospective borrowers.
• Generate new business through consistent prospecting, cold outreach, networking, and referral development.
• Educate small business owners on SBA 7(a) financing options and identify opportunities that align with their business needs.
• Develop and manage a pipeline of prospective borrowers from initial outreach through loan application and closing.
• Collaborate with internal underwriting, credit, and loan processing teams to facilitate the lending process.
• Maintain strong relationships with referral partners to generate repeat business and expand market reach.
• Consistently meet business development, loan production, and revenue goals.

• Fully remote position.
• 100% employer-paid healthcare coverage for employees.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a true hunter, not simply an account manager or relationship manager. They should already have an established COI network, know how to generate their own business, and have a track record of bringing in new SBA lending opportunities.

We are particularly interested in someone who has strong connections with CPAs, attorneys, business brokers, and other professionals who regularly work with small business owners.
