Portfolio Manager

Dominion Financial Services (DFS) is one of the nation's leading private lenders serving real estate investors through Short-Term Bridge Loans and Long-Term Rental Financing. Every month we help investors secure the capital they need to grow their portfolios, and we're looking for someone who thrives on taking ownership, making decisions, and creating results.

This isn't a maintenance role. It's an opportunity to own a portfolio, influence outcomes, solve complex challenges, and become a trusted advisor to borrowers, investors, and internal leadership.

If you're energized by responsibility, enjoy making strategic decisions, and want a role where your performance directly impacts the business, we'd love to meet you.

At Dominion, we embrace innovation and believe technology should amplify great people, not replace them. Every employee has access to industry-leading AI tools, including Claude, and is encouraged to leverage AI to work smarter, move faster, and create greater value.

What You'll Own
As a Portfolio Manager, you'll take ownership of a portfolio of commercial real estate loans from both a relationship and performance perspective. You'll proactively identify opportunities, navigate challenges, and make informed decisions that strengthen portfolio performance while delivering an exceptional client experience.

You won't simply react to issues. You'll anticipate them, develop solutions, and lead conversations that move portfolios forward.

What You'll Do

• Own and actively manage an assigned portfolio of commercial real estate loans.
• Serve as the primary relationship manager for borrowers, investors, and internal stakeholders.
• Identify risks early and develop strategic action plans before problems escalate.
• Analyze borrower financials, tax returns, property performance, and market trends to guide portfolio decisions.
• Lead conversations with borrowers regarding servicing needs, collections, modifications, and issue resolution.
• Recommend and execute portfolio strategies that maximize asset performance while minimizing risk.
• Partner with underwriting, servicing, legal, and executive leadership to drive successful outcomes.
• Present complex portfolio situations clearly and confidently while providing actionable recommendations.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve servicing workflows, borrower experience, and operational efficiency.
• Leverage AI tools to streamline administrative work, analyze information faster, improve communication, and increase overall productivity.
• Help shape the future of the department by contributing ideas, challenging existing processes, and driving continuous improvement.

What Makes You Successful
You're someone who enjoys being trusted with responsibility. You like solving problems, making decisions, and taking ownership rather than waiting for direction. You build credibility quickly, communicate confidently, and naturally take initiative when challenges arise.

You're equally comfortable working with financial data, collaborating across departments, and leading conversations with clients when difficult situations require thoughtful solutions.
