Pacifica has been in business since 1978. The Role Pacifica is seeking an experienced Director of Real Estate Loan Acquisitions & Portfolio Management to lead the acquisition and management of our portfolio of short-term, business-purpose loans secured by California real estate. Pacifica is an investor — not a direct lender. We acquire loans sourced through licensed California real estate brokers. The portfolio is composed primarily of loans to fix-and-flip investors, buyers of single-family rental properties, and borrowers using residential bridge financing, with a smaller component secured by commercial real estate. Pacifica's approach emphasizes conservative underwriting and disciplined property valuation, with the goal of building and maintaining a portfolio of safe, well-performing loans. This role reports directly to the principals, oversees an existing assistant/associate, and is responsible for each loan from acquisition through payoff. Key Responsibilities Loan Acquisitions & Underwriting Cultivate and expand relationships with licensed real estate brokers and other industry partners that source loan opportunities. Identify and analyze short-term, business-purpose loan opportunities secured by California real estate. Assess collateral value, borrower information, credit profile, exit strategy, rent rolls, rehab budgets, and other due diligence materials. Prepare written loan summaries and recommendations for ownership approval. Review loan documents and closing materials for consistency with approved business terms. Portfolio Management Manage the existing loan portfolio, including payments, maturities, extensions, payoffs, releases, modifications, defaults, workouts, and foreclosure-related matters. Manage and develop existing assistant/associate. Servicer Oversight & Reporting Oversee third-party loan servicers; monitor servicer reporting and reconcile loan balances, payments, fees, advances, interest, reserves, holdbacks, payoff demands, and extension calculations. Coordinate with accounting on payments, wires, deposits, check requests, loan purchases, payoffs, and portfolio reporting. Qualifications Minimum of 5 years of experience in private-money or business-purpose real estate lending, loan acquisitions, loan servicing, portfolio management, real estate investment, or commercial lending. Experience with California real estate-secured lending strongly preferred. Strong valuation and underwriting skills for residential business-purpose lending (fix-and-flip, single-family rental, residential bridge), with working knowledge of commercial real estate underwriting given there is also a commercial component of the portfolio. Strong understanding of notes, deeds of trust, guarantees, title insurance, escrow, appraisals, payoffs, loan modifications, extensions, and foreclosure concepts. Comfort with loan-level accounting concepts sufficient to reconcile loan balances, interest, payments, fees, reserves, advances, holdbacks, payoff demands, and servicer reports. Strong writing, communication, organization, and Excel skills. Must be able to work in Pacifica's San Diego corporate office. Compensation & Benefits Base salary of $100,000-$110,000 plus bonus tied to portfolio performance. Health, dental, and vision insurance. 401(k). Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave.
