We're seeking a Director of Closing (AKA: The Person Who Actually Gets Deals Done) in Los Angeles, CA. (Hybrid – 3 days in-office, because wires don’t send themselves)

Let’s be real for a second…Anyone can “close a deal” when everything is perfect. We’re looking for the person who can close it when:

• Title is almost ready
• Docs are mostly complete
• And someone just said, “Can we still fund today?” 😅

The Role (Pipeline Closer-in-Chief)

We’re partnering with a growing lending platform that needs a seasoned operator to run Closing, Funding, and Post-Closing like a well-oiled machine. This is the role where:

• Details matter
• Speed matters
• Communication matters
• And somehow… you make all three happen at once

What You’ll Own

• Lead and develop the Closing team (hire, train, mentor, repeat)
• Build processes that make deals move faster without breaking compliance
• Review and approve loans pre-funding (your sign-off actually means something)
• Keep a constant pulse on the pipeline — spotting issues before they become fires
• Be the go-to for leadership when they ask: “Are we funding on time?”
• Manage relationships with title, escrow, custodians, banks, and buyers
• Elevate the borrower experience (clear comms, no surprises, no chaos)
• Scale and optimize Post-Closing operations (because the job doesn’t end at funding)
• Partner with Originations, Underwriting, Servicing, Compliance, etc. to keep everything flowing
• Continuously improve systems, processes, and workflows

What Makes You Dangerous (in a good way)

• 10+ years in real estate / mortgage / lending operations
• 3+ years leading closing or funding teams
• Deep knowledge of loan products, guidelines, and regulatory requirements
• You don’t wait for problems — you see them coming from a mile away
• You can manage details and think strategically
• Strong communicator who can translate “lending chaos” into clear updates
• Comfortable with Salesforce or similar systems

Bonus Points If You

• Have experience in private lending
• Have built or scaled closing processes before
• Secretly enjoy cleaning up messy pipelines
• Can keep calm when everyone else is… not

The Details

• $140K – $150K base + bonus
• Full-time, exempt
• Hybrid in Los Angeles (3 days in-office)

Who Thrives Here

You’re the kind of person who:

• Double-checks the wire and the backup wire
• Notices the one missing doc that could delay funding
• Fixes the issue… then builds a process so it never happens again

If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can own the closing function, drive real operational impact, and actually control the chaos — this is it. Apply now… or send it to the one person you trust when a deal absolutely has to close.
