Requirements

The role:

Tether Capital is launching a new credit vertical focused on providing short-term liquidity and credit facilities to fintech companies, payment providers, exchanges, and other financial institutions.

We are looking for a Credit Lead (underwriter) focused on institutional lending and liquidity to join this new initiative and help build the credit function from the ground up.

This is a hands-on role for someone with strong experience in credit underwriting and structuring, who is comfortable assessing businesses, making credit recommendations, and developing the policies and processes needed to support a growing lending platform.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

  • Underwrite and structure credit facilities, including revolving credit facilities, working capital loans, and liquidity facilities.

  • Analyse companies' financial statements, cash flows, liquidity position 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.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of relevant credit experience.

  • Strong experience in credit underwriting and structuring, rather than purely credit analysis.

  • Previous experience with fintech & payments is mandatory.

  • 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.
