About Allica Bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
Role Description
As a Senior Business Development Manager in our Invoice Finance team, you'll take on a more complex and higher-value origination remit, working the largest and most strategically important opportunities across our acquisition channels. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, take the lead on more sophisticated deal structures, and act as a role model and informal mentor to more junior members of the BDM team, while continuing to personally originate and close new business.
Principal Accountabilities
- Take ownership of a portfolio of higher-value, strategically important Invoice Finance opportunities and introducer relationships
- Get up to speed on Kriya's most complex deal structures and credit considerations
- Build relationships with junior BDMs and begin sharing best practice on prospecting and qualification
- Own origination and closing of higher-value, complex Invoice Finance opportunities, driving income against monthly, quarterly, and annual targets
- Help build and manage a portfolio of strategically important introducer relationships, including key broker and accountancy firm partnerships
- Take the lead on structuring more complex lending proposals, working closely with credit to get deals over the line
- Act as a mentor to junior BDMs, sharing best practice on prospecting, qualification, and deal structuring
- Play a key role in developing and executing the commercial business plan for Invoice Finance, in line with strategic goals
- Identify and pursue multi-product cross-sell opportunities across the wider Kriya and Allica Bank offering
- Comply with all mandatory policies and adhere to operational procedures to maintain internal controls
