About the role
Apex is hiring an experienced Commercial Debt Originator who has personally sourced and closed commercial financing, whether for property owners or operating businesses. You'll bring financing opportunities through borrower and referral relationships, and work with our team on lender matching and execution. Apex (https://useapex.com) is a commercial financing platform. We match deals with lenders across private credit and debt funds, banks and specialty finance, and our proprietary AI sourcing tools find borrowers and the right lenders for each deal.

What you'll do:
- Develop relationships with property owners, sponsors, business owners and referral partners, and source new financing opportunities.
- Work the opportunities our AI sourcing tools surface alongside your own.
- Understand each borrower's financing need and gather enough information to qualify the opportunity.
- Work with Apex's team on lender selection and borrower follow-up, and manage the borrower relationship through closing. What you get
- Apex's proprietary AI sourcing tools, which surface borrowers and deals on top of your own relationships.
- Access to Apex's lender network, with matching on every deal you bring.
- A team that helps package each deal for lenders and follow it through closing.
What we're looking for:
- Experience originating or arranging commercial debt at a brokerage, lender, bank or debt advisory firm, with recent transactions you personally sourced and helped close.
- Direct borrower or referral relationships, with a realistic plan for bringing financing opportunities to Apex.
- An understanding of commercial financing structures and how to assess whether a request is ready for lenders.
- The ability to qualify opportunities independently and enough availability to manage your pipeline.
Working with ApexThis is a remote, US-only independent contractor role, starting as a paid engagement with a share of the fee on every deal you close. The compensation and scope of work will be agreed before the engagement begins. There may be an opportunity to move into a full-time role depending on performance and mutual fit.
Financing focus
Commercial real estate bridge, acquisition and refinance loans on income-producing property; asset-based revolvers and term loans secured by equipment, real estate or other hard assets; bank refinancings and acquisition financing, typically $5 million and up.
To apply, share your background and up to three recent debt transactions you personally sourced, including financing type, loan size, closing date and your role in bringing in the borrower. Please also tell us which borrower or referral relationships you work with today and your availability for a paid contractor engagement.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
