Credit Finance Technical Jr. Business Analyst
Midtown Manhattan, New York, NY (5 days/week in office, no remote or hybrid)
$105,000 - $145,000
Our client is a private lender specializing in bridge loans and development financing for a specialized real estate credit/lending niche. The engineers are strong, but only a few on the dev team have a finance background. This role closes that gap, helping the head of engineering deliver long term solutions for business stakeholders.
**What You'll Build**
- Reports and analyses that answer time-sensitive leadership questions, not just recurring dashboards
- Python and SQL work turning real real estate credit/lending data, with all its real-world nuance, into reliable financial insight
- Coordination across the team's onsite and offshore developers, keeping deliverables and blockers visible
- By year one, a primary point of contact for business-side questions, absorbing project coordination the head of technology currently handles
**What Success Requires**
- Real estate credit/lending data rarely arrives clean. A number can look right and be wrong, or look wrong and be right, and telling the difference takes both data fluency and financial judgment
- This role holds both threads at once
**Who This Is For**
- Able to calculate DSCR, not just define it, with a working understanding of mezzanine loan repayment priority in a capital stack
- That knowledge can come from a job, a CFA track, or genuine independent interest; a finance degree isn't required
- Comfort with Python and SQL matters more than tenure
- Any experience coordinating work across a team, even informally, transfers directly
**Growth Path**
- The seat closest to the head of technology, and the connective tissue between what engineering builds and what the business needs
- Strong performance becomes visible quickly
- Advancement is tied to impact, not tenure
**The Stack**
Python, SQL, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Git. Full fluency isn't expected on day one; financial instinct and the ability to learn fast matter most.
