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.

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
