Private Credit Intern
About The Position
East Harbor is a private credit firm that provides secured loans to business owners acquiring trucks, heavy equipment, construction machinery, real estate, yachts, aircraft, and commercial vehicles. We're a collateral-first lender. We care more about the asset backing the loan than the borrower's credit score. Our portfolio includes over 200 active loans, a network of 200+ brokers sourcing deals nationwide, and a closing timeline of 2-4 weeks from submission to funding. Small team based in Miami. Real capital moving on real deals. No simulations. You'll support our operations and deal team across the full loan lifecycle, from the moment a broker submits a deal through underwriting, closing, and funding. You'll work with actual borrower files, coordinate with attorneys and title companies, and see firsthand how a private credit platform deploys capital against hard assets.
