In partnership with Finance, Lending, and MALCO, you will establish a disciplined execution cadence and provide senior leadership for the function. Balance-sheet strategy and material risk decisions will be developed in close partnership with and remain subject to the oversight and approval of the CFO.

What You Will Do

• Lead the capital-markets portfolio across loan sales, pricing, hedging, investor relationships, subservicing, and servicing monetization, with balance-sheet and material risk decisions made in partnership with and subject to approval by the CFO.


• Develop and recommend the whole-loan and participation sales strategy across all lending programs in coordination with enterprise priorities and obtain CFO approval for strategies with material balance-sheet, liquidity, or risk implications.


• Govern the loan-sale calendar and maintain a consistent execution cadence rather than relying on opportunistic transactions.


• Ensure loan-level data, documentation, and operational readiness support timely and accurate sale execution.


• Develop program-level pricing and yield recommendations with MALCO and the CFO, connecting production decisions to earnings and balance-sheet outcomes within approved parameters.


• Develop and oversee hedging strategy and coverage within approved risk parameters, and explain positions, exposures, and tradeoffs through the MALCO and ALCO processes, with material changes subject to CFO approval.


• Build a diversified investor, broker, and counterparty network that strengthens market access and negotiating leverage.


• Negotiate forward-flow agreements and master purchase or participation agreements within approved risk and return parameters.


• Lead the investor subservicing strategy for sold loans in partnership with the operational servicing function.


• Develop servicing-fee income, retained-servicing strategy, and mortgage servicing rights value as components of portfolio economics.


• Support the CFO and Finance in evaluating balance-sheet strategy, liquidity options, and the impact of capital-markets activity on earnings by providing analysis, recommendations, and execution support within approved parameters.


• Deliver accurate reporting to ALCO, MALCO, and the Board on sale volume, pricing trends, counterparty mix, and balance-sheet impact.


• Allocate priorities and develop the capital-markets team as sale and hedging volume, complexity, and strategic scope grow.

What Success Looks Like

• A dependable loan-sale cadence is established across lending programs, with transactions prepared and executed according to the approved calendar.


• Hedge coverage and pricing recommendations are integrated with production and balance-sheet strategy, with material decisions reviewed and approved through the CFO and established governance channels.


• The investor and counterparty base is diversified enough to reduce dependency and improve Vibrant’s negotiating position.


• Capital-markets reporting gives ALCO, MALCO, and the Board a clear view of pricing, sale activity, counterparties, and balance-sheet impact.


• Servicing and subservicing economics are incorporated into capital-markets decisions and produce a defined monetization strategy.
