Specialist Property Finance Lender
London / UK
KFS Recruitment is working exclusively with an embryonic, specialist property finance lender in the Property Rental Income space.
Are you a dynamic, driven origination leader with a strong network of direct and broker contacts? Do you thrive on being at the forefront of bringing new products to market, shaping strategy, and building a sales engine from the ground up? If so, this opportunity could be the next big step in your career.


The Opportunity
This is a high-impact, leadership-level role for an ambitious Head of Origination to take full accountability for the sales function of a specialist property lender focused on Property Rental Income finance.
You will:
*Lead the origination and sales strategy, driving awareness and market penetration for a new lending product
*Be the face of the business in the market — confident presenting at networking events, expos, award ceremonies, industry panels, and podcasts
*Manage and grow relationships with brokers, introducers, intermediaries, and direct clients
*Work closely with credit, product, and senior leadership to align sales and risk strategies
*Build and scale a high-performing origination team as the business grows
*Contribute to shaping marketing activity across social media and industry channels
*Represent the business with key publications and directories (e.g., BNC, Bridging & Commercial, Bridge and Loan Directory)


The Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for someone who:
*Has a strong network of direct and broker contacts in specialist property finance
*Has senior sales/origination experience with smaller or embryonic lenders — ideally having helped shape and grow a product from launch
*Is ambitious, charismatic, and commercial, with a flair for building relationships and hitting targets
*Can speak confidently about lending products publicly and elevate brand awareness
*Has experience influencing sales and marketing strategy, including digital and industry-wide engagement
*Is based in London / Home Counties, with the ability to travel across the UK for client meetings
This is a rare chance to step into a pivotal leadership position, shaping the commercial future of a specialist lender and building a team around you.
