Full job descriptionCity + Capital are currently representing an established bridging
finance lender that is entering an exciting new phase of growth.
Following the onboarding of new funding lines, the business is
expanding its business development capability and is seeking a
credible BDM to originate lending opportunities across London and
the South of the UK.

The Company

Our client is an established name in the space, with a strong
lending track record stretching back more than a decade. The
business takes a commercially minded approach to lending,
supported by strong and flexible funding partnerships that drive
opportunity.

The company has recently secured new funding lines and is
evolving how it deploys its available capital. This creates an
attractive opportunity for an experienced business development
specialist to join at a point when the lender has both the
appetite and resources to grow their loan book.

The team comprises approximately eight people, giving employees
meaningful visibility and influence. The successful candidate
will work closely with the founding partners and wider lending
team rather than operating through a large or heavily layered
infrastructure.

This appointment will strengthen origination capacity, broaden
introducer coverage and support the deployment of available
capital to drive lending growth.

Role Overview

consistent pipeline of good-quality bridging finance
opportunities. You will achieve this by strategically managing
your own diary of appointments and events with brokers and
borrowers.

for your region which in turn have a huge impact on the lenders
overall success and future growth. This may also be key for your
development within the firm.

team in HQ with aspects such as case management, underwriting,
completions and credit. You will also benefit from direct access

our client and will also drive reputational growth, wherever
possible.

new originations.

may also be considered for exceptional talent.

Salary will be complemented by access to our client’s fantastic
bonus structure too, that will reward you for the loans you
successfully complete and will drive a significant OTE based on
performance.

Notably, as our client is currently boutique in size, but big in
ambition and personality, this is also a role that can create
future growth opportunities for you, as excellent performance is
delivered. The upcoming growth is set to drive more senior roles
within the business with a preference to promoting from within.
Therefore opportunities to progress career standing and salary
within may be achieved, where successful in this role.

line with objectives.
