The Opportunity

The Bernstein Companies is seeking a highly organized, numbers oriented professional to support the loan administration and financial processes behind our commercial real estate portfolio.

Working directly with our Vice President of Finance and Administration, you will help keep loans, closings and lender requirements moving by tracking information and deadlines, coordinating reports and documentation, and following up with lenders, attorneys and internal teams.

This is an excellent next step for someone with experience in loan operations, servicing, credit administration or another back office banking role who wants broader exposure to commercial real estate. We are also open to exceptional recent graduates who are strong with numbers and details and eager to learn. Approximately half of the role focuses on loan administration and half on supporting the operational needs of our corporate office.
