Capital Markets Lead

NYC, Austin, TX or Remote

Company Overview

Mesa is on a mission to make homeownership more affordable and rewarding. Led by a world-class team of repeat founders and fintech operators from Uber, Amex, Robinhood, Capital One, Bilt Rewards, Cash App, Square, Zillow, and LendingTree, they are creating the homeowner membership category. Their platform gives real value back to consumers for the $8T in annual homeownership spend.

Homeowner membership offers exclusive benefits and rewards across mortgage originations, mortgage payments, warranty, insurance, HELOC, and more. Mesa is bringing credit card style membership to every financial product for your home.

The Role

We’re seeking a Capital Markets Lead to build and scale Mesa’s capital markets strategy from the ground up. You’ll develop funding channels, manage investor relationships, and execute structured finance transactions—including ABS, whole loan sales, and private placements.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll work directly with Mesa’s CEO and cross-functional partners across finance, legal, and product. You’ll shape how capital markets fuel our products and long-term growth as we expand access to innovative credit for homeowners.

This is an ideal opportunity for a capital markets professional who thrives in ambiguity, brings a strong investor network, and wants to build something enduring.

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Design and execute Mesa’s capital markets roadmap, including warehouse lines, securitizations, and loan sale programs.
  • Build and manage a pipeline of institutional investor relationships (banks, funds, insurance companies, fintech lenders)
  • Lead investor engagement, including roadshows, diligence, and ongoing relationship management
  • Partner with internal teams to monitor credit performance and align capital strategy with product goals
  • Lead execution of ABS or whole loan transactions—structuring, modeling, negotiating, and closing
  • Develop investor materials, pitch decks, and data rooms that clearly articulate Mesa’s value and risk profile
  • Stay on top of market trends and provide strategic insights on pricing, investor appetite, and competitive benchmarks

Requirements:

  • 5-8 years of experience in capital markets, structured finance, or investment banking
  • Deep knowledge of ABS, securitizations, and structured consumer credit products
  • Existing relationships with institutional investors across public and private markets
  • Strong modeling and transaction execution experience, with a proven ability to lead deals end to end
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills—you can confidently engage C-level investors and internal stakeholders alike
  • Independent, strategic thinker with a bias toward action and comfort in fast-paced, early-stage environments
  • Experience with homeowner or property-related lending products (e.g. HELOCs, mortgages) is a plus

Nice to have:

  • Experience in a startup or fintech environment
  • Exposure to credit card, mortgage, or personal loan financing strategies

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
  • Best in class health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Unlimited vacation policy

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
