Over time, we would like to scale our programs, diversify our capital sources (initial fund raised from Magnetar and Goldman Sachs), lower our cost of capital, and increase the buy box and operational flexibility of our financing facilities. This role will also partner with our CEO, CFO and COO to craft and implement our M&A strategy, which is focused on strategic acquisitions of mid-size local builders, including the identification and diligence of local targets. You will report to the Chief Financial Officer and will work closely with functional leaders across the organization.

• Build target list of institutional investors, create financing programs to best match their and our needs, structure terms, and close those facilities as needed to meet our needs
  
• Identify opportunities to scale, lower our cost of capital, and build more buy box and operational flexibility in our financing facilities over time (including active research and knowledge of what is happening elsewhere in the industry)
  
• Leverage personal network of institutional investor relationships to execute on Homebound's capital markets strategy
  
• Help craft and execute our M&A strategy for acquisitions of local builders, including identification and diligence of local targets as well as raising the financing to close those deals

  Who You Are:
  
  • 
    
  • 10-15+ years of work experience, with strong preference for private equity, investment banking, or other institutional investor experience
    
  • Relentless and experienced executor who is up for the challenge of scaling capital markets in line with Homebound's significant growth targets
    
  • Creative financing expertise - someone is very familiar with the requirements of institutional investment firms and how they can intersect with the needs of a tech-enabled high-growth start-up
    
  • Strong personal drive and ability to navigate ambiguity, operate effectively in a hyper-growth start-up environment
