Graduate Finance Broker

An incredible opportunity for a motivated, driven and commercially astute graduate to rapidly progress their career within a fast growing, meritocratic and dynamic finance firm.

As a Graduate Finance Broker, you will be contacting potential clients through outbound calls, positioning Portman Finance Group’s financial solutions in a consultative manner and passing qualified leads to our busy Sales Team.

With an annual starting salary ranging from £36,000 to £50,000 (depending on academic background and interview performance), we are looking for someone who has a natural flair to build telephone rapport alongside the ability to drive sales processes to completion and achieve key KPI targets in a highly competitive and lucrative environment.

Please do not apply if you consider yourself more of an analyst as this role will not be right for you.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct outbound sales activity to establish rapport and interest with potential new clients, ultimately building a pipeline and securing new business opportunities;
  • With a customer-centric approach, qualify client interest through a consultative sales process to understand their commercial standing and position Portman’s financial solutions;
  • Write and prepare proposal documentation and credit applications as and when required, including working with clients to gather appropriate financial and non-financial paperwork;
  • Record all sales activity in our CRM;
  • Build and maintain a pipeline of live opportunities; and
  • Any other appropriate job duties in line with the associated skill and experience of the post holder.

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.
