• Able to navigate the interplay among different financing structures, including senior secured loans, mezzanine financing, asset-based lending, and acquisition financing.
• Known for excellent academic performance, strong communication skills, and polished interpersonal abilities.
• Eligible for North Carolina bar admission or willing to pursue it.
• A team-oriented professional with strong attention to detail, good commercial judgment, and the ability to manage multiple matters efficiently.

Compensation & Structure:

• Compensation: Competitive and commensurate with experience. ($200,000 - $300,000)
• Comprehensive benefits package designed to support well-being, financial stability, and work-life balance, including:
• Multiple health plan options, dental, vision, prescription coverage, telehealth access
• Cash balance pension plan or FSA options depending on membership structure
• Life insurance, AD&D, short and long-term disability coverage
