Director/Senior Director, Originations

About the role

RRA Capital is looking for an experienced commercial real estate debt originator to help build and expand our presence across the Central Region. This is an opportunity to join a lean, entrepreneurial platform with direct access to decision makers and meaningful upside tied to production and firm growth.

Responsibilities

• The relationship owner in the Central Region — the face of RRA Capital to brokers and borrowers across your markets
• Originating senior bridge loans across the Central Region
• A deal-driven self-starter who builds pipeline rather than waiting for it
• Part of a lean, high-performing team where your production directly impacts the firm

Requirements

• 7–15 years of CRE debt origination experience — whole loans, bridge, mezzanine, or structured credit
• A demonstrated production track record — you've sourced, structured, and closed deals on your own
• Knows commercial real estate loans deeply across property types — you can read a deal quickly and price it confidently
• Thinks like both a lender and an owner — downside protection matters as much as getting to yes
• Holds a CFA, CAIA, or MBA — or is actively working toward one (meaningful plus, not a requirement)
• Located in major central region markets (e.g. Dallas, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago), Phoenix, AZ or New York, NY

Qualifications

• Passionate about commercial real estate and its intersection with finance
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Experience with CRM systems and pipeline management

Skills

• Commercial real estate lending expertise
• Deal structuring and pricing
• Underwriting and credit committee presentation
• Broker and borrower relationship building
• Industry research and analysis

Pay

Base salary commensurate with experience, discretionary performance bonus tied to origination production, and participation in firm economics for the right candidate.

Schedule

Full-time position.

Benefits

• Medical insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Unlimited PTO
