Job Description

High Impact Financial Analysis is a Certified B Corp® that provides underwriting, portfolio management, and data analytics services to mission-driven lenders and investors. We have an exciting full-time, remote or in-office opportunity available for a Commercial Credit Underwriter ("Underwriter") in community development finance. The position may be a senior level or non-senior level position depending upon the candidate's experience and expertise. This is not a residential mortgage or insurance underwriting position. Please submit a resume and cover letter to be considered for this position. Resumes submitted without a cover letter will not be reviewed.

The Underwriter will enjoy significant variety in the types of loans and clients that they interact with.

Candidates with more experience may be considered for the Senior Underwriter, rather than Underwriter, position.

High Impact clients include Community Development Financial Institutions ("CDFIs"), philanthropic foundations, government entities, and green banks located across the U.S. Our staff is unified behind the core values that influence all aspects of our operations: empathy and support, everyone has a seat at the table, being solutions-oriented, and believing in social impact.

Our Culture

High Impact is a flexible, dynamic, and participative organization that lives its four core values of social impact, giving everyone a seat at the table, being solutions-oriented, and offering empathy and support. High Impact recognizes the importance of autonomy and flexibility, and supports these values by holding no internal meetings on Fridays to allow time for deep work, having a clear communication policy that preserves non-working hours, offering flexibility in work schedules, and providing opportunities for profit sharing, regular training, and ongoing opportunities to grow within the firm.

High Impact's work environment provides broader and more invigorating opportunities than working within traditional lending institutions because of the diverse types of lending and markets its clients serve across multiple states, the consultative nature of the relationship with clients founded on trust and industry-specific expertise, and opportunities to provide input that helps improve clients' internal operations. In addition, High Impact's staff size of 10-15 provides employees with a unique opportunity to influence the future of the organization.
