About The Position

F2 Finance is seeking an experienced Loan Officer specializing in private lending. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in originating and closing loans, an established network within the private lending market, and the ability to consistently generate new business. This role offers a highly competitive base salary and an aggressive, uncapped commission structure. F2 Finance is a fast-growing, balance-sheet lender focused on short-term residential bridge loans, fix and flip financing, and other business-purpose real estate loans, with substantial capital available for growth and a national lending platform.

The role involves generating new business, cultivating relationships with borrowers and brokers, and managing the loan process from inquiry to closing. While the preference is for the role to be based in the Santa Monica office, a remote arrangement may be considered for an exceptional candidate with a strong production history and the ability to work autonomously.

• Direct experience in private lending, hard money, residential bridge lending, or fix and flip finance
• A verifiable track record of originating at least $1 million per month

• Strong work ethic, sound judgment, and a genuine drive to produce results
• Remote candidates must demonstrate a history of high performance in an autonomous environment, with excellent responsiveness and reporting discipline.
