Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity

This is a Business Development role with a difference.

You won’t just be selling lending products — you’ll be working with business owners and advisors to solve real, complex funding challenges. From supporting growth to navigating change, you’ll help SMEs access the right funding solutions at the right time.

Sitting at the intersection of sales, credit, and corporate finance, this role blends relationship-building with commercial judgement. You’ll work closely with introducers and professional networks to originate opportunities, while also shaping and structuring deals that stand up to credit scrutiny.

If you enjoy building a strong network, influencing outcomes, and playing a meaningful role in how businesses grow — this is an opportunity to build both your reputation and your career.

What will your day look like?

• Build and develop relationships with introducers including accountants, brokers, and corporate finance advisers
• Identify and originate new business opportunities across invoice finance and structured lending solutions
• Work with clients to understand their funding needs and shape appropriate solutions
• Assess financial information and develop a clear view of risk and commercial viability
• Prepare and present high-quality credit submissions to internal stakeholders
• Manage deals through the full lifecycle, from origination through to completion
• Collaborate closely with credit, risk, legal, and operations teams
• Manage your own pipeline, prioritising activity and driving sustainable business growth

What do we expect from you?

• Experience in a business development or relationship management role within financial services
• A strong track record of building and maintaining professional networks and generating new business
• Good commercial awareness, including the ability to understand financial information and business performance
• Confidence in discussing funding solutions and structuring deals
• Strong stakeholder management skills, both internally and externally
• Ability to manage multiple opportunities and see deals through to completion
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to work autonomously

What can you expect from us?

• A hybrid working policy, 3 days per week onsite in one of our offices
• A friendly and flexible culture, the same as how we work with our customers.
• A growing organisation that means there’s lots of opportunities to progress
• A drive for continuous improvement, which you will be empowered to get behind from
• day one.
• And of course, you will be rewarded competitively, with a good range of core benefits and bonus potential.
