Role Overview The Regional Originator is the primary regional contact for the fund on the ground. The role carries responsibility for building and maintaining relationships with intermediaries, advisers and SME owners across the Region, and for proactive deal origination across the full ticket range.
This is a hybrid origination and credit role. Volume at the smaller end of the range is handled by an automated application and scoring process, freeing the Originator to concentrate on generating pipeline and on the qualitative credit work that materially informs underwriting in the middle of the range. On larger transactions, the Originator works alongside the established Deal Team.
Role Responsibilities by Loan Size The Region is expected to produce a high volume of applications across a wide ticket range. The Originator's involvement in the credit process scales with facility size.

Direct enquiries and introducer referrals to the online application process.
Triage out-of-mandate enquiries before they enter the process.
There is no individual credit workload attached to these transactions.
Loans above £250,000 and up to £1,000,000 Applications follow the same online route and are scored on the same basis but require further analysis before a credit decision is taken.
The Originator performs this analysis, including, where applicable:
Enhanced qualitative assessment.
Site visits.
Regional reference checks.
On-the-ground commercial due diligence.
Written input into the credit paper.
This is where regional knowledge of borrowers, sectors and intermediary references adds the most value, and it represents the core analytical component of the role.
Loans above £1,000,000 The Originator originates and qualifies the opportunity before working alongside the existing Deal Team on the transaction.
The Originator contributes:
Full qualitative assessment.
Site visits and supporting due diligence.
Regional context and local market knowledg...
