JOB SUMMARY: Forbright Bank is seeking a hands-on, player-coach Director of Portfolio Management to help lead its Real Estate Finance portfolio-management function. The Director will manage a nation-wide portfolio of performing commercial real estate loans, develop portfolio-management professionals, maintain strong borrower relationships, identify emerging credit and market risks before they become material problems, and use technology, data, automation, and AI to improve loan- and portfolio-level reporting, efficiency, and early-warning capability. This role is designed for a knowledgeable lender who can combine asset-level credit judgment with portfolio-level perspective. The Director will work closely with the Managing Director of Portfolio Management, senior leadership, originations, underwriting, loan closing, legal, servicing, and other partners to turn portfolio information into clear decisions and timely action. The Director will also serve as a strategic feedback loop between portfolio performance and new-deal underwriting by analyzing trends across property types, sponsors, regional markets, and economic conditions and bringing those implications to management to inform underwriting, structuring, and portfolio strategy. Deep distressed-asset specialization is not required; meaningful exposure to borrower issues, modifications, remedies, or workouts is important. We are seeking an individual with the ability to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively to help implement best-in-class portfolio management practices in an ever-evolving environment to support a growing portfolio at a bank with ambitious goals. The position is in Chevy Chase, MD and requires 4 days in office per week.
