A fast-growing UK lender is building a specialist cashflow and leverage lending team and is looking for a senior originator to help shape and scale the proposition.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the start of a new lending platform focused on providing £1m–£10m cashflow-led and leveraged finance solutions to established, profitable UK SMEs that are often underserved by traditional lenders due to limited tangible security.

This is a fully remote-based role, and applications are welcomed from experienced lending professionals located anywhere across the UK. Your market will be shaped around your existing relationships, sector expertise, and ability to originate high-quality opportunities.

You’ll have the autonomy to build your own market, leverage your network, and originate meaningful transactions with the backing of experienced credit, risk, and product teams.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

The Opportunity

You’ll be responsible for driving origination, helping shape the lending proposition, and bringing forward opportunities where a cashflow-based approach can unlock growth for ambitious businesses.

The focus is simple: source, structure, and close high-quality lending transactions.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Originate and execute £1m–£10m cashflow and leverage lending transactions
  • Build relationships across the SME, intermediary, and corporate finance ecosystem
  • Identify businesses with strong fundamentals and compelling funding needs
  • Structure tailored lending solutions alongside credit and risk teams
  • Manage opportunities from origination through to completion
  • Help shape the growth and direction of the lending platform

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in SME cashflow lending, leveraged lending, or direct lending origination
  • A strong track record of sourcing and closing £1m+ transactions
  • An established network of introducers, advisors, and business owners
  • Strong understanding of cashflow-based credit assessment and structuring
  • Commercial, entrepreneurial, and relationship-led approach

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Fully remote role, open to candidates anywhere in the UK
  • Build and own your market from day one
  • Join a high-growth lending platform at a pivotal stage
  • Real influence over product strategy and market approach
  • Work with strong credit and risk support behind you
  • Competitive package with performance upside

If you’re an originator who knows how to find opportunities, structure deals, and turn relationships into funded transactions, this is the opportunity to help build something significant.
