About Arixa Capital

Arixa is seeking a Draw Processor to support the Company's growth and development as one of the leading non-bank real estate lenders in the Western U.S.

Arixa is truly differentiated in our market. Arixa is both an investment manager and a lending platform, while our competition is almost exclusively lenders who do not manage discretionary funds. That allows Arixa to customize solutions for borrowers without special approvals from distant committees or boards of Managers that don't understand our business. Arixa also manages money that comes from top tier institutional investors, giving Arixa substantial capacity to grow.

We place organizational health at the top of our priority list. In 2018, Arixa undertook an exercise to place organizational health at the center of our business model. The result is that we developed a playbook that incorporates input from every Arixa team member, making sure that we remain aligned, and everyone knows what is most important - covering our mission, our values, and our top priorities each year.
