About the role

As a Consulting Manager - Commercial Lending , you will make an impact by reverse-engineering and validating the financial logic supporting a new commercial real estate Advances capability. You will be a valued member of the CRE Servicing team and work collaboratively with business stakeholders, technology teams, and solution architecture teams to ensure that complex funding, interest, and repayment logic is financially accurate, audit-defensible, and ready for technical implementation.

In this role, you will:

Reverse-engineer and validate financial logic for cash advance funding, interest accrual, and multi-party repayment allocation by analyzing existing Excel models, the current Python application, JIRA artifacts, and test cases

Apply structured finance and CMBS master-servicing expertise to model many-to-many capital relationships involving multiple private equity or investor funding sources across multiple advances

Validate interest calculations, spread capture, funding relationships, and repayment tracing across full, partial, excess, late-payment, and recast scenarios

Proactively identify and define edge cases, including short payments, overpayments, late payments, recast triggers, and cross-provider allocation waterfalls, while challenging stakeholder assumptions and closing gaps in the financial logic

Translate validated financial logic into implementation-ready workflows, calculation specifications, and data and gap analyses that support solution architecture and the Sprint 1 backlog for a C#/.NET and Azure-based rebuild

Work model - Remote

We strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role's business requirements, this is a remote position. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.
