ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

A boutique independent equipment finance lender specializing in manufacturing vendor finance. Unlike banks, this firm operates with a broader credit window -- funding used equipment, non-prime credit, and deal types that banks and large independents routinely decline -- while maintaining capital markets relationships that allow them to offer rates at or below the largest institutions. The firm is deliberately lean, paying out a higher percentage of gross margin to producers than the industry standard. This is a confidential search; company name disclosed after initial screening.

THE ROLE

A revenue-share partnership model, not a traditional sales role. The ideal candidate already has an established book of vendor or customer relationships in the manufacturing equipment space and is looking for a better platform to run it through. You bring existing deal flow; the firm provides back-office support, credit approval, marketing infrastructure, and a broader credit window. No paperwork, no admin, no quotas.

RESPONSIBILITIES

•    Manage and grow an existing book of vendor relationships and/or direct customer relationships in manufacturing equipment verticals

•    Generate equipment financing deal flow from dealers, manufacturers, equipment reps, and direct end customers

•    Submit credit applications through the platform; back office handles all processing, documentation, and funding

•    Attend trade shows and industry events to maintain and expand the vendor network

•    Represent the firm to vendors and end customers as their financing partner of choice

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

•    Commission: 50-60%+ of gross margin on funded transactions -- higher payout than banks or large independents

•    Base draw / guarantee: $80,000 -- $100,000+ depending on book of business and production history

•    Realistic OTE: $200,000+ for candidates producing $10-12M in annual funded volume; no ceiling

•    Health insurance stipend

•    IRA/Roth match up to 10%

•    Unlimited PTO

•    Travel expenses covered for revenue-generating activity

•    Full content marketing team builds your personal brand in the background

IDEAL CANDIDATE

•    5-10+ years in vendor equipment financing or direct equipment lending; 3 years absolute minimum

•    Established book of business with vendor relationships in manufacturing verticals -- machine tools, fabrication equipment, woodworking, CNC, or adjacent industrial equipment

•    Self-motivated and disciplined -- no management, no quotas, no activity reporting

•    Currently at a bank or large independent lender whose credit window has tightened after an acquisition

•    CLFP certification a strong plus

•    Not available to candidates based in California
