Asset Manager

Atlanta, GA | Hybrid | Full time

About our client

Nectar is a profitable, venture-backed fintech lender providing flexible capital to experienced commercial real estate owners. They make $300K–$5M mezzanine debt and preferred equity investments that help sponsors renovate, acquire, or recapitalize stabilized, cash-flowing assets. Their thesis is simple: speed + creativity + prudent credit = outsized risk-adjusted returns.

They run lean, move fast, and invest heavily in AI-powered underwriting and process automation so their people can focus on the high-value work that drives results. Nectar operates through five execution pods—Originations, Underwriting, Servicing, Capital Markets, and Integrations—each owning its KPIs and P&L. In every pod, a Practitioner (domain expert) partners with a Builder (automation/process specialist) to 10× productivity.
