Credit Lead (Underwriter) – Institutional Lending & Liquidity

About the role

Tether Capital is launching a new credit vertical that provides short‑term liquidity and credit facilities to fintech companies, payment providers, exchanges, and other financial institutions. We are seeking a Credit Lead (underwriter) focused on institutional lending and liquidity to build the credit function from the ground up and drive the growth of this new initiative.

Key responsibilities

• Underwrite and structure credit facilities, including revolving credit facilities, working‑capital loans, and liquidity facilities.
• Analyse companies' financial statements, cash flows, liquidity positions, and repayment capacity.
• Determine appropriate lending amounts, terms, covenants, security, and other risk protections.
• Develop credit policies, underwriting guidelines, templates, and concentration limits from scratch.
• Monitor credit risk and borrower performance and establish appropriate risk‑monitoring processes.
• Support the development and scaling of the new credit business.

Required profile

• 10+ years of relevant credit experience.
• Strong experience in credit underwriting and structuring, not just analysis.
• Mandatory experience with fintech and payments.
• Background in institutional lending, private credit, venture debt, specialty finance, or a similar environment.
• Experience establishing or developing credit policies, processes, or risk frameworks.
• Crypto, digital assets, or stablecoin experience is a plus but not required.
