Senior Business Development Manager – Bridging & Development Finance
Up to £85k Basic + Uncapped Commission + Benefits
We’re working with a well-established and successful specialist property finance lender based in London looking to appoint an experienced Senior BDM to drive new bridging and development finance business.
With strong funding, dedicated underwriting support, and an exceptionally competitive commission structure, this is an opportunity for an established originator to significantly increase their earning potential.
Why This Stands Out
- Exceptional 0.25% commission on the gross value of loans completed
- Around 1.5x higher than many commission structures we see across the specialist lending market
- Completely uncapped – giving high-performing originators significant earning potential
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.
