Business Development Manager – Specialist Property Finance
Our client is an established leading specialist property finance lender with significant growth plans, providing tailored funding solutions to brokers, property investors and borrowers across the UK.
The best of both worlds - work for a business that retains the entrepreneurial culture and agility of a specialist lender, while benefiting from the stability, investment and funding certainty that comes with being part of a UK Bank.
They pride themselves on delivering exceptional service, fast decision-making and a pragmatic approach to lending, ensuring brokers and customers receive the support they need throughout the entire lending journey.
The Role:
This is an exciting opportunity to join a stable growing market-leading specialist property lender, as a Business Development Manager. Since launching nearly 10 years ago the business has built a strong reputation for service excellence and innovation within short-term property lending.
You’ll play a key part in growing the businesses’ Bridging, Refurbishment and Developer Exit lending (with BTL to follow at the end of 2026) by building trusted, long-term relationships with brokers. Rather than being desk-bound, you’ll have the autonomy to manage the region, spend time in the field, and work directly with introducers to structure complex property finance transactions.
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.

Key Activities:
- Managing and developing relationships with a portfolio of broker partners within your assigned region
- Working directly with introducers to assess and structure complex lending cases in line with credit policy
- Planning and maintaining a strategic diary of broker meetings and appointments
- Identifying and developing new sources of business from inbound enquiries, broker registrations, existing relationships, and market activity
- Maximising bridging and property finance opportunities by understanding broker needs and the businesses’ competitive strengths
- Achieving agreed quarterly and annual lending targets across relevant lending divisions
- Attending and presenting at industry events, exhibitions, seminars, and workshops as required
