About Us
Berkeley Credit is a Mayfair-based, principal bridging lender. We lend our capital offering secured facilities from £50k to £25m on residential, commercial/mixed-use property. We're a fast-growing, entrepreneurial business and this role is central to that growth.
The Role
We're looking for a Business Development Manager to originate new bridging loan business directly — building your own pipeline of borrowers and introducers, qualifying enquiries and driving deals from first contact through to completion alongside our underwriting team.
Responsibilities
- Source and originate new bridging loan enquiries directly, hitting monthly/quarterly origination targets
- Build and manage a network of introducers, brokers and direct borrowers
- Present Berkeley Credit's products clearly and competitively to prospective clients
- Qualify and structure enquiries (loan amount, LTV, exit strategy) before handover to underwriting
- Track the market — competitor pricing, broker sentiment, emerging opportunities
- Represent Berkeley Credit at industry events and networking functions
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- 2–4 years of bridge loan business development experience
- Direct bridge loan origination experience is essential — you must have personally originated bridging finance deals, not just sold into the sector
- Working knowledge of LTV, valuations, exit strategies and short-term lending mechanics
- A track record of hitting or exceeding sales/origination targets
- An existing (even early-stage) network of brokers or introducers is a strong plus
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills; comfortable working autonomously in a small, owner-run lender
