Director of Loan Originations

Fidelity Bancorp Funding (FBF) is entering a transformational growth phase and we’re looking for a top-tier Director of Loan Originations to lead Los Angeles originations.

Fidelity Bancorp Funding recently secured an institutional partner that doubles the size of our bridge fund to $600 million. With expanded funding capacity and aggressive growth targets to hit, we need an experienced and dynamic originator ready to build a dominant presence in Southern California.

If you are an elite producer located in Los Angeles who thrives on building a fast paced and high growth business, this is a career-defining opportunity.

Why Fidelity Bancorp Funding

Fidelity Bancorp Funding combines entrepreneurial speed with 25 years of proven execution. We provide our originators with leading direct loan products, credibility, and capital strength to win in competitive markets.

$600 million in available financing to actively deploy

25-year track record with over $15 billion in commercial loans funded

In-house underwriting, processing, and servicing built for speed, certainty, and to let sales sell

Daily Loan Committee to quickly and creatively find ways to get deals done

A performance-driven, entrepreneurial culture where producers are empowered with coaching and mentorship from a seasoned leadership team

Access to direct capital and exclusive loan products – we are not a brokerage.

The Opportunity

A dynamic originator is needed. In this role, you will:

Drive new originations with a focus on FBF’s direct bridge, mini-perm, and DSCR loan products

Develop deep and lasting relationships with investors, brokers, and referral partners

Structure and close loans across multifamily, mixed-use, retail, office, and commercial assets

Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of loan opportunities

Partner closely with underwriting and closing teams to deliver certainty of execution

Establish Fidelity as the go-to lender while earning the first look at opportunities

This role is ideal for a top producer seeking the balance sheet, brand, and leadership support to launch and significantly scale their book of business. While developing the regional market is a key focus, the role has a national scope, allowing the producer to originate loans across the U.S. and to leverage existing relationships.

What You Bring

We are seeking a growth-minded originator with a proven track record of driving originations and scaling a book of business.

5+ years in commercial lending, bridge lending, private lending, or CRE banking

Demonstrated production history and strong referral network

Deep understanding of loan structuring, underwriting, and credit analysis

Sophisticated financial acumen and ability to analyze complex deals

Elite relationship-building and negotiation skills

Entrepreneurial mindset with the discipline to execute

Must maintain an active lending license and remain in good standing with all regulatory requirements

Access to reliable transportation is required to meet borrowers and referral sources and to inspect subject properties as part of the loan development and review process

Compensation & Upside

The compensation and benefits package includes:

Uncapped commission structure

401(k) with match

Generous PTO

Clear path for leadership and advancement

Why This Role Is Different

Few lenders offer expanded access to capital, a 25-year reputation, and the ability to scale. This is your opportunity to lead the charge in a major market backed by real capital and a professional team of high performing, execution focused operators.
