About The Firm

Ease Capital, a technology-driven lender and investment manager specializing in multifamily financing and asset management, is led by a seasoned team with decades of expertise in real estate credit, data analytics, and technology.

Job Description

Ease Capital is recruiting for a Head of Underwriting to guide the firm’s underwriting of multifamily mortgage loans. The candidate will act as the subject matter expert on how to evaluate and underwrite bridge and permanent loans from the perspectives of private balance sheet, capital markets, and agency lenders. The candidate will use that knowledge and proficiency to help the originations team screen new opportunities and the closing team to integrate its due diligence findings to complete final underwriting for investment committee presentation and approval.

This position requires someone who enjoys learning, embraces teaching colleagues, and has the temperament to work well with brokers, capital partners, and line lenders.
