Urrly

Role Description Build the credit underwriting rails for a platform connecting underbanked homebuilders to institutional capital. This is a ground-floor build role inside a new credit platform. The company is not hiring someone to inherit a mature loan desk or simply process an existing pipeline. The right person will help create the underwriting function, shape credit policy, and build a scalable operating model for residential homebuilder finance. The Head of Credit Underwriting, Home Builder Finance will own upstream credit diligence for residential builder and developer financing opportunities. You will: - Underwrite residential construction, spec, pre-sold, and build-to-sell homebuilder financing opportunities. - Analyze builder financial statements, tax returns, project pro formas, liquidity, leverage, DSCR, net worth, LTC, LTV, interest reserves, contingencies, and global cash flow. - Review draw schedules, cost-to-complete analysis, lien waivers, title insurance, inspections, appraisals, absorption assumptions, comparable sales, lot pricing, and market demand. - Prepare clear credit memos and present recommendations to investment committee, capital partners, and senior leadership. - Push back constructively on sourcing when a deal does not hold up to credit scrutiny, while still building productive relationships with builder-facing teams. - Help define underwriting policy, scoring frameworks, governance standards, and scalable workflows for a new credit line of business. - Partner with product and operations teams on loan origination systems, data tooling, and AI-assisted underwriting workflows. - Support capital partner confidence by making the risk framework credible, repeatable, and transparent. Qualifications - 7+ years of experience in construction lending, homebuilder finance, residential real estate credit, or closely related specialty finance. - Direct experience underwriting construction loans or credit facilities for residential builders or developers, including single-family, townhome, or small-to-mid-scale multifamily projects. - Strong command of construction loan mechanics, including draw schedules, lien waivers, title, inspections, cost-to-complete analysis, interest reserves, LTC/LTV, contingencies, and project feasibility. - Strong financial analysis skills across builder financials, tax returns, pro formas, liquidity, leverage, DSCR, net worth, and global cash flow. - Ability to evaluate appraisals, collateral assumptions, local market absorption, comparable sales, lot pricing, and execution risk. - Excellent written credit communication, including clear, concise, persuasive credit memos. - Comfort operating in a build-stage environment with ambiguity, limited existing process, and a need for hands-on ownership. Requirements - Experience at a bank, credit union, private debt fund, non-bank lender, CDFI, or specialty finance platform with dedicated construction or homebuilder finance exposure. - Experience building or improving credit policies, underwriting frameworks, loan origination workflows, or portfolio governance. - Exposure to capital partners, investment committee presentations, or institutional credit decisioning. - Experience with loan origination systems, data platforms, AI-assisted underwriting tools, or credit automation. - Track record managing or underwriting a construction loan portfolio of $50M+ in commitments. - Familiarity with HUD/FHA construction programs, GSE guidelines, state housing finance agency programs, RESPA, TILA, Reg B/ECOA, or state-specific construction lending rules. - CMB, CFA, MBA, MS Finance, or other relevant designation. Benefits - Base salary: $175,000 to $200,000 - Performance bonus - Equity participation - Company-paid medical, vision, dental, and wellness benefits for employees and dependents - Flexible vacation and sick days - Paid parental leave Location This is a U.S.-based role. Sun Belt and high-growth housing markets are preferred, including markets such as Charlotte, Austin, Atlanta, Birmingham, and similar regions. Strong candidates outside those markets will still be considered when the construction/homebuilder finance profile is compelling. Apply Apply now and get a response within 24 hours.
