Job Description: Chief Lending Officer (CLO)
Equity Allocation: 0.08%
Reporting To: CEO
Cultural Mantra: "Lend with rigor, lend with heart—turn communities into capital engines."

Mission

Lead Community Backers, Inc. to deploy $1B+ in ethical loans that fuel underserved entrepreneurs, diverse developers, and regenerative projects. Balance financial discipline with radical empathy, ensuring every dollar lent builds wealth, housing, and hope—not just returns.

Core Responsibilities

--Portfolio Alchemy
Impact-Driven Lending: Allocate 40% of loans to minority-led real estate developers, women-owned businesses, and underserved
markets (e.g., rural areas, urban renewal zones).
Risk Innovation: Design dynamic risk models that reward borrower potential (e.g., mentorship track records, community impact
plans) over traditional collateral.
Syndication Strategy: Structure loan pools attracting ESG investors (target: 15%+ IRR) while retaining 20% for in-house impact
projects.

--Borrower Empowerment
Financial Advocacy: Host monthly "Borrower Bootcamps" to train clients on credit-building, cash flow management, and exit
strategies.
Mentorship Networks: Partner with NGOs to connect borrowers with industry mentors (e.g., seasoned developers, fintech
founders).
Crisis Navigation: Offer flexible repayment plans and grants for borrowers facing unforeseen hardships (e.g., natural disasters,
market crashes).

--Regulatory & Ethical Guardrails
Compliance Mastery: Achieve 100% pass rates on NMLS, SEC, and CFPB audits.
Transparency Pact: Publish quarterly "Loan Impact Reports" detailing defaults, successes, and lessons learned.
Anti-Predatory Pledge: Ban high-interest "opportunity loans" and hidden fees.
--Ecosystem Collaboration
Partner Orchestration: Broker deals with community banks, credit unions, and proptech platforms to co-fund projects.
Investor Storytelling: Craft narratives that turn loan metrics into human impact stories for LP updates (e.g., "This $5M Loan Housed
50 Families").

Equity: 0.08% (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff + acceleration on $1B exit).
Performance Bonus: Up to 45% of salary, tied to:
20%: Portfolio performance (IRR, defaults).
15%: Impact metrics (loans to underserved markets).
10%: Team culture scores.

Who We’re Seeking
Lending Luminary: 10+ years in commercial lending, impact investing, or community development finance with a portfolio of $300M+.
Risk Alchemist: Expertise in non-traditional underwriting (e.g., character-based lending, social impact scoring).

Culture:
You’re a disruptor—maybe you’ve protested predatory lending, taught finance in prisons, or turned a "no" into a historic "yes" for an underserved borrower.
Risk Revolutionary: Proves "high-risk" markets are mispriced opportunities (e.g., approves a loan for a refugee-led housing project\
that yields 20% IRR).
Empathy Auditor: Rejects deals that prioritize profit over people (e.g., gentrifying developments without affordable units).\
Deal Poet: Trains teams to see loan applications as human stories, not spreadsheets.
Bridge Builder: Connects Wall Street rigor with Main Street heart.
Legacy Loans: Your decisions will house families, launch businesses, and reshape neighborhoods.
Autonomy with Purpose: Lead lending strategy with founder-level creativity and unicorn-level resources.
Ethical Frontier: Prove that finance can be both profitable and humane.
Loan Syndication: Structure $20M+ deals with 12%+ net returns.
Risk Mitigation: Implement geo-diversified portfolios (max 10% exposure per market).
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure 100% adherence to NMLS/state lending laws.
Risk Alchemist: Turns high-risk opportunities into gold through rigorous due diligence.
Relationship Builder: Cultivates trust with borrowers and institutional partners.
