Are you a high-level operator in the lending space who understands how to scale Non-QM and commercial lending platforms?
Do you thrive in environments where speed, precision, and execution drive real revenue?
We’re looking for a Director of Operations to take ownership of the operational engine behind a fast-growing lending business focused on Non-QM residential and commercial lending .

Strategic Lending is a financial services and lending solutions company focused on helping individuals and businesses secure funding through a variety of loan products. Based in Salisbury, the company operates as a broker-style lender/financing partner , connecting clients with lending options tailored to their specific financial needs.

• Work directly with leadership to align operations with growth targets and capital deployment strategies
Requirements
Who You Are
• Deep experience in Non-QM residential lending and/or commercial lending operations
• Strong understanding of loan structuring, underwriting flow, and secondary market execution
• Proven operator — you don’t just manage, you build, fix, and scale systems
• Experience managing loan pipelines, investor relationships, and note sales
• Detail-oriented but able to think strategically at a high level
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where things move quickly

Requirements
• Based in Delaware or Maryland (proximity to Salisbury, MD preferred)
