What You’ll Do

• Track performance of mortgage assets, including origination trends, payoffs, delinquency, extensions, draws, and loss metrics across warehouse and owned positions
• Produce recurring portfolio reports for internal and institutional stakeholders, and support board and investor reporting cycles
• Maintain a current view of concentration limits, eligibility criteria, and covenant compliance across the portfolio
• Build and maintain portfolio dashboards and trackers covering performance, cash flows, and key risk metrics
• Manage day-to-day portfolio operations, including delinquency tracking and cash and collateral reconciliation
• Apply the portfolio’s governing agreements to day-to-day decisions, including expense sharing, decision rights, and waterfall mechanics
• Support forward flow and loan sale relationships, including compliance with applicable purchase and forward flow agreements
• Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on counterparty notifications, consents, and amendments as the portfolio evolves
• Oversee investment vehicle mechanics for joint ventures, including capital calls, distributions, and investor reporting cycles
• Partner with deal and transaction management, structuring, and compliance teams on new originations, securitizations, and portfolio sales
• Work with Finance and Accounting on cash reconciliation, fee distributions, and portfolio economics
• Collaborate with Treasury on warehouse facility utilization and borrowing-base reporting for the portfolio

• Strong Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, and financial modeling skills, with comfort building and maintaining portfolio tracking and reporting tools
• Excellent written communication for reporting across counterparties
• High attention to detail and comfort verifying claims against source documents rather than assumptions
• Experience with fund or investment vehicle administration, including capital calls, distributions, and investor reporting cycles (preferred)
• Comfort with NAV attribution and valuation processes for asset-backed credit portfolios (preferred)
• Strong investment and credit analysis skills, with the ability to assess asset performance trends and flag emerging risks (preferred)
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment

Requirements

• Adhere to all company security policies and data handling procedures.
• Complete mandatory security awareness training within required timeframes.
• Promptly report any suspected security incidents or suspicious activity to the Security team.
