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.

• Build and implement systems, SOPs, and workflows that increase speed, accuracy, and scalability
• Ensure compliance across all lending activities, including Non-QM and commercial lending guidelines
• 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)
• Ability to be in-office quarterly (minimum)

• A seat at the table as we expand across Non-QM and commercial lending markets
