Senior Business Development Manager

Working style: Full time role, available for onsite, hybrid or remote candidates
We are hiring on behalf of an exciting specialist property finance lender that is entering the market with substantial funding and ambitious growth plans. Backed by an experienced leadership team and a strong funding line, this is a rare opportunity to join a business at an early stage and play a key role in its growth journey. Our client is seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to drive broker relationships and originate new lending opportunities across the North. This is more than a traditional BDM position. As one of the first key hires within the business, you will have the opportunity to help shape the origination function, influence strategy, and build a team as the company grows. This role would suit an ambitious and commercially minded property finance professional looking for autonomy, progression, and the chance to make a genuine impact within a growing lender.
