Director/Senior Director, Originations

RRA Capital – real estate credit platform focused on structured lending and opportunistic investments.

We value intellectual curiosity, ownership, and people who are genuinely enjoyable to work with.

We are looking for an experienced commercial real estate debt originator to help build and expand our presence across the Central Region.

This is an opportunity to join a lean, entrepreneurial platform with direct access to decision makers and meaningful upside tied to production and firm growth.

• Relationship owner in the Central Region – face of RRA Capital to brokers and borrowers across markets
• Originating senior bridge loans across the Central Region
• Build pipeline proactively as a deal‑driven self‑starter
• Work as part of a lean, high‑performing team where production directly impacts the firm
• Source new loan opportunities through broker and direct sponsor relationships across Central Region markets
• Evaluate incoming deal submissions – quickly assessing fit based on RRA lending criteria (size, location, property type, sponsorship)
• Structure, price, and present new loan opportunities to underwriting and credit committee
• Lead the full loan cycle: originate, coordinate underwriting and due diligence, secure committee approval, manage legal and closing
• Conduct regular in‑person broker and borrower visits; attend relevant industry events in the territory
• Build and maintain pipeline with discipline – CRM hygiene, weekly activity tracking, consistent follow‑through
• Distribute monthly market updates and recent transaction highlights to network
• Bring market intelligence back to the team – what is moving, what is repricing, where the opportunity is

• 7–15 years of CRE debt origination experience – whole loans, bridge, mezzanine, or structured credit
• Demonstrated production track record – sourced, structured, and closed deals independently
• Deep knowledge of commercial real‑estate loans across property types – reads and prices deals confidently
• Balanced mindset as both lender and owner – protects downside while obtaining approvals
• Holder or active candidate for CFA, CAIA, or MBA (beneficial, not required)
• Located in major central region markets (e.g., Dallas, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago), Phoenix or New York

Base salary commensurate with experience, discretionary performance bonus tied to origination production, and participation in firm economics for the right candidate. Benefits include medical insurance, 401(k) with employer match, and unlimited PTO.
