Senior Business Development Manager - Retail Finance in London

Here at Omni Capital Retail Finance Ltd, we are on an evolutionary journey. As part of Castle Trust Bank, a privately owned bank, we are much more agile than many of the other key players in this space, meaning that we can flex our approach to bespoke retailer/sector requirements, as well as a changing financial landscape. As a fintech, our technology is proprietary – allowing us to react to the economic environment as well as the changing retailer environment. The loans that we offer truly improve the lives of our customers and help to drive our retailer partners' business. We work with some of the biggest national brands across many of our sectors, working with in excess of 2,000 different retailers.

We are looking for a credible Senior Business Development Manager to join our commercial team, where you will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the growth of our retail finance offering. We aim to grow sustainably, with funding readily available to support that expansion, which is why we are looking for someone who is well connected in the industry and has the gravitas and credibility of a high‐performer with a proven track record of selling into retailers.

Customers' net promoter scores and internal engagement results speak for themselves, placing us ahead of many of our competitors, making this an even more attractive proposition. We are searching for a thought‐leader, someone who is looking to trailblaze with the gravitas to influence and drive change.

This is a home‐based opportunity; therefore, we are flexible on your location. However, you will be required to work from the London office at least once a week, and from our Basingstoke office once every 4–6 weeks.

What We Are Looking For In You

We want you to have a proven background in sales/new business development with a natural flair and desire to deliver (and exceed) results, building long‐lasting relationships with customers and colleagues alike. If you have operated in the point of sale or retail finance space, that's great; however, we are open to speaking to individuals who have operated in a broader regulated sales environment (such as Payments, PSP, EPOS, merchant acquirers), but will need to possess the required level of risk knowledge and exposure to work well in a business like ours. Experience in home, lifestyle, jewellery, sporting goods, consumer electronics or home improvements is highly advantageous.

You thrive working in a KPI‐driven environment, with a proven ability for developing business within a targeted market sector, having previously negotiated deals with different types of businesses including large corporations and SMEs. Your communication and influencing skills will need to be engaging, with the ability to adapt your style to your audience.

What's In It For You

• Competitive salary, performance‐related bonus based on individual and company performance
• Generous contributory pension scheme through Hargreaves Lansdown
• Life assurance
• 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays on top) with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days (terms apply)
• Extra day paid annual leave for volunteering
• Health and well‐being support via Equipsme healthcare benefits
• Free access to TELUS Health EAP
• Free eye test vouchers
• Discounted gym membership
• Season ticket travel loans (if applicable)
