Lorval Capital Management is an established family office that provides support services (financial expertise, payroll, HR) and a solid backing to our Vancouver‑based Attivo brand.

Attivo Capital is looking for a Director, Transactions & Operations to be the operating engine of our brokerage business.

In this role, the Director, Transactions & Operations owns end-to-end deal execution and the operating cadence of Attivo’s brokerage platform.

Succeeding in this role means:

Deals move from mandate to close with clear ownership, timelines, and accountability

Borrowers are fully diligence and lender-ready early in the process

Closing conditions (CPs) are actively managed and resolved without last‑minute fire drills

Leadership has real‑time visibility into pipeline status, blockers, and close forecasts

Execution quality and consistency improves as volume scales

Dependency on the Partners for day‑to‑day execution materially declines





Attivo’s reputation with lenders and clients strengthens through professionalism and follow‑through

Oversee financial modeling, underwriting assumptions, and deal memorandums

Ensure consistency in risk evaluation across asset classes and deal types

Review and approve underwriting packages prior to external distribution

Challenge assumptions constructively and surface risks early

Provide early‑stage structuring and diligence input post‑mandate to pressure‑test feasibility, documentation readiness, and lender fit before formal packaging

Coordinate and manage expanded third‑party diligence as required by asset type and lender, including environmental, engineering, market studies, and other technical reports

Act as the primary execution conduit between borrower and lenders throughout diligence and closing, maintaining accountability, responsiveness, and credibility on both sides

Operations & Process Leadership

Implement and enforce standardized execution playbooks (onboarding, checklists, cadence)

Maintain and continuously improve pipeline tracking (CRM / Excel)

Lead internal operating rhythm (pipeline + unblock meetings)

Build simple reporting for leadership on pipeline health and execution performance

Leverage data, automation, and lightweight tooling to improve execution throughput, accuracy, and visibility across the deal lifecycle

Team Coordination & Internal Enablement

Coordinate execution work across Associate Director, Analyst, and Office Manager





Set internal deadlines and quality standards

Train team members on standardized execution processes

Support execution on challenged, delayed, or restructured transactions by coordinating revised diligence, documentation, and lender communications in partnership with the Partners and CFO

Data, File Hygiene & Institutional Memory

Ensure clean file structure and documentation standards (SharePoint)

Maintain deal and relationship database (contacts, lender preferences, notes)

Ensure audit‑ready documentation and permission discipline

Ensure diligence, legal, and third‑party reports are archived in a manner that supports rapid retrieval, lender follow‑ups, and clean institutional memory across repeat transactions

Qualifications

Minimum five years of experience in deal execution

Experience in underwriting or credit role in commercial mortgages, real estate finance, private credit, investments banking, or structured finance

Strong ability to manage multiple transactions concurrently with strict attention to timely deadlines

Hunger to own your function and drive the business forward

Eager to create and improve upon systems in a small shop with huge potential

Have the right mix of being self‑sufficient and driven, while being able to raise your hand and ask for help

Proven ability to lead and grow a team
