Loan Processor - Private Credit
About The Position
East Harbor is a private credit firm that makes secured loans against real assets: marine vessels, aircraft, real estate, and commercial vehicles. We're collateral-first. If the asset is strong, we'll fund borrowers that banks won't touch. Our portfolio includes 200+ active loans, and we close in 2-4 weeks. We're CECL-compliant and audited, but we operate without the bureaucracy of a bank. Nothing funds without a clean close, and this role is directly responsible for that. The Role You'll own deal execution from approval through funding. Every closing package, every lien, every funds flow goes through you. Our collateral ranges from yachts to aircraft to commercial real estate, so no two closings look exactly the same. You'll coordinate borrowers, attorneys, title companies, and insurance providers to get deals funded accurately and on time.
