Featured Opportunity: Direct Origination – Equipment Finance
Remote U.S. | $500,000–$50 Million Transactions | Emerging and Essential Industries
The Opportunity
Altius Search Group is conducting a confidential search for an experienced equipment finance direct originator with a demonstrated record of personally sourcing and closing business.
Our client is an equipment finance company that deploys its own capital. This is a hands-on opportunity to build a book of business across robotics, defense technology, physical AI, automation, advanced manufacturing, and other essential markets involving mission-critical equipment with durable collateral value.
Transactions generally range from approximately $500,000 to $50 million.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Originate for a company that deploys its own capital.
Work directly with leadership and credit on transaction structures.
Pursue opportunities involving non-investment-grade, unrated, growth-stage, turnaround, and sponsor-backed businesses.
Finance large-ticket, essential-use equipment across specialized and expanding markets.
Build a sustainable book of business without inheriting a defined territory.
Potentially build a team after establishing significant and consistent production.
What They’re Looking For
The strongest candidates will bring:
A demonstrated record of personally originating and closing equipment finance loans and leases.
Relevant funded production and the ability to distinguish personally sourced business from internally assigned or referred opportunities.
Experience working with non-investment-grade or other nontraditional credits.
Borrower and referral relationships capable of supporting future direct origination.
Experience financing essential-use or mission-critical equipment.
A self-directed, collaborative approach and comfort building business without an inherited territory.
Primary Responsibilities
Develop new business through direct borrower and referral relationships.
Build and manage a qualified pipeline of equipment finance opportunities.
Evaluate the customer, equipment, sponsorship, proposed structure, risks, and repayment strategy.
Lead transactions from the initial discussion through credit approval, documentation, and funding.
Coordinate with credit, underwriting, documentation, and leadership throughout the transaction process.
Provide market insight as the organization expands into new industries.
Compensation and Growth
The base salary is $100,000–$120,000, depending on experience, plus a commission of 1% of gross funded volume.
There is also potential to build a team after establishing a significant and sustainable book of business.
Who Should Consider It
This opportunity is best suited for an established direct originator who can independently develop borrower and referral relationships, navigate complex or nontraditional credits, and build production in specialized markets.
