About The Position

At LendingOne, we don’t just lend capital—we fuel opportunity. Headquartered in sunny Boca Raton, FL, with additional offices in Charlotte, NC and Great Neck, NY, we’ve funded over $7 billion in real estate capital and earned recognition as one of the Sun Sentinel’s Top Workplaces—four years running! As a direct private lender—not a broker, not a bank—we specialize in business-purpose mortgage loans for real estate investors, including fix-and-flip bridge loans and long-term rental financing. Our mission is powered by our values: Speed & Ease – We simplify lending so clients can move fast and seize opportunities. Solutions Driven – We solve problems, not just process paperwork. Loyal Partners – We build trust, not just transactions. Authentic Experience – We stay real, reliable, and respectful—always. We’re a fully funded, full-service lending partner—and we’re growing fast. Position Overview: LendingOne is seeking a driven Business Development Representative based in Atlanta, GA to spearhead our partnership program. With a minimum of 2–3 years of successful outside sales experience, the ideal candidate will independently prospect, build relationships, and represent LendingOne at frequent local, state, and regional events, often requiring flexible multi-day travel. This individual will follow up on marketing leads, support the VP of Partnerships at national events, and progressively take full ownership of regional partnership activities. A passion for business development, confidence in public speaking, and excellent relationship management skills are essential to succeed in this fast-paced, growth-focused role.
