Business Development Manager - Property Finance

Business Development Manager – Bridging Finance

Location: London / Home Counties

The Opportunity

An established and growing specialist property finance lender is looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to take ownership of an agreed regional territory.

The business provides Shariah-compliant, unregulated bridging finance, primarily secured against residential investment property, working closely with brokers and introducers across the UK.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced BDM with a proven track record of generating and converting bridging finance business, who is looking to take greater ownership of a territory and develop long-term broker relationships.

The Role

• Take ownership of an agreed regional territory, developing and executing a business plan to drive new business and increase lending volumes.
• Identify, win and develop relationships with brokers, introducers and intermediaries.
• Build a strong network of productive broker relationships, generating repeat business and identifying new commercial opportunities.
• Conduct regular broker visits, attend industry events and represent the business across your territory.
• Identify suitable bridging finance opportunities, understanding the borrower, security, funding requirements and proposed exit strategy.
• Work closely with underwriting and case management teams to progress applications from initial enquiry through to completion.
• Manage your own sales pipeline, ensuring accurate CRM records, regular reporting and realistic completion forecasts.
• Take commercial responsibility for lending volumes, fee contribution and the ongoing development of your territory.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams to ensure brokers receive a professional, responsive and consistent service.

Requirements

• Proven experience personally originating and converting bridging finance or closely related specialist property finance business.
• An established network of broker, packager or intermediary relationships within your regional territory.
• Strong understanding of bridging finance, including property security, loan-to-value ratios, facility structures and exit strategies.
• Experience managing broker relationships and developing new business opportunities.
• Commercially minded, with the ability to identify opportunities, negotiate effectively and deliver against lending targets.
• Confident managing your own diary, territory, sales pipeline and business development activity.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience working alongside underwriting and operations teams to progress cases through to completion.
• Experience working for a growing specialist lender would be advantageous. Previous exposure to Shariah-compliant finance is not essential, although an interest in learning about this area of property finance would be beneficial.

Targets & Expectations

• You will be responsible for developing a sustainable pipeline of new business, increasing repeat introductions and delivering against agreed commercial objectives.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Business Development Manager to join a growing specialist property finance lender, take ownership of a regional territory and play an important role in its continued growth.
