About Nectar

Nectar is a profitable, venture-backed fintech lender that plugs liquidity gaps for experienced commercial-real-estate owners. We make $300K – $5M investments in mezzanine debt and preferred equity so sponsors can renovate, acquire, or recapitalize stabilized, cash-flowing assets. We aim to close deals in days, not months.

Our thesis is simple: speed + creativity + prudent credit = outsized risk-adjusted returns. To keep that edge, we invest heavily in AI-powered underwriting, process automation—and in the originators who drive our deal engine.

Why This Role Is Different

• Real Ownership – You’ll control a material slice of originations and help steer pricing, product tweaks, and go-to-market strategy alongside the CEO.

• White-Space Opportunity – We’ve funded 100+ deals to date; your mandate is to double that in the next 12 months.

• Tech-Enabled Speed – We are building custom technology with ai at its core. Our underwriting decisions can land in < 48 hours thanks to automations—giving you a tangible edge with brokers and borrowers.

• Clear Line to Wealth – Uncapped commissions, participation in fund economics, and equity eligibility after your first over-target year.

What You’ll Do

• Source & Close $30m+ / yr of qualified mezz/preferred-equity transactions.

• Own the full cycle—from first outreach through diligence, term-sheet negotiation, credit committee, and funding.

• Expand our referral network of mortgage bankers, broker-dealers, RIAs, and family offices; turn relationships into repeatable quarterly volume.

• Partner with Marketing to test campaigns, craft collateral, and headline webinars/panels that position Nectar as the smartest money in small-balance CRE.

• Pilot new tools—be the voice of the field as we roll out AI co-pilots for prospecting, data extraction, and deal structuring.

• Manage relationships— our originators are the relationship owner through the full cycle, able to generate future business and help with servicing needs as they arise

What Makes You a Fit

• 5 + yrs generating and closing CRE debt or equity (mezz/pref/bridge/agency experience all welcome).

• Documented hunter: $50 MM+ sourced in the last 24 months and a CRM you actually keep clean.

• Fluency in DSCR, CLTV, NOI drivers—and how to structure around them.

• Rolodex of active sponsors, mortgage bankers, and capital advisors nationwide.

• Start-up or high-growth DNA: you iterate fast, embrace ambiguity, and default to action.

• Willing to travel (~25 %) for site walks, closings, and the conferences where deals get done.

Compensation & Benefits

We’ll build the package that secures top talent. A typical mix:

• Base compensation→ $90,000 - $120,000

• Uncapped commission→ .25% + incentives

• Equity participation after one full fiscal year above plan.

• 99 % company-paid medical, dental & vision • Unlimited PTO • 10 + paid holidays.

• Regular Atlanta onsites (or hybrid if you’re local) • Annual off-sites for strategy and fun.

• Latest tech stack of your choice plus budget for continuing education & industry events.

Tell us the structure that motivates you—we’re creative!

Location
