Ascent Developer Solutions is a leading private lending platform serving real estate developers nationwide in acquisition, renovation, and construction of residential real estate. The company is seeking a seasoned Capital Markets and Treasury leader to drive strategy, execution, and expansion of the firm's capital structure.
Reporting to the CFO and coordinating closely with the CEO and General Counsel, this leader will own the buildout of the firm's capital markets function from current state to programmatic securitizer. Key responsibilities include launching an inaugural securitization, developing and ramping whole-loan sale and participation programs, and evolving the capital stack to support the firm's full-lifecycle lending vision.
Capital Strategy & Execution: Develop and lead the firm's capital markets strategy to support private lending originations and growth targets. Structure and execute financing solutions including warehouse facilities, securitizations, CRE CLOs, whole-loan sale programs, forward flow agreements, loan participations, and institutional partnerships. Optimize cost of capital, liquidity, and leverage across the platform. Lead the firm's evolution from a balance-sheet warehouse funder to a programmatic securitization issuer, building a hybrid capital stack to maximize capital velocity, ROE, and balance-sheet capacity. Reduce guarantee structures over time through diversified funding strategies and negotiations with warehouse counterparties. Define and execute the path to long-term capital products, including development of an Agency correspondent lending program to support long-term takeout financing for multifamily, manufactured housing, and homebuilder portfolios.
Treasury Management: Oversee the firm's treasury function including liquidity management, cash forecasting, and funding allocation. Ensure efficient deployment of capital across lending programs and investment strategies. Manage warehouse and bank credit facility relationships and negotiations.
The ideal candidate brings deep relationships across institutional investors, direct experience leading securitization and whole-loan sale/participation programs, strong track record in structured finance and credit markets, strong interdepartmental teamwork and collaboration, and ability to align capital strategy, treasury management, and lending operations in a rapidly scaling environment.
