My client is an award-winning tech platform founded in 2024, with a goal of enabling SME businesses to access a variety of lending options via one platform, allowing them to make the best informed lending decisions in a tech-savvy way. To access UK SMEs, they can white label their software, providing it to Banks, Financial Services Providers & Payment platforms to enable them to offer the lending solution to their SME customer base. After 2 years of scaling, they have now been acquired by a leading tech provider, giving them the best of both worlds – capital & resources to continue their growth while still operating as a scale-up dynamic business.

We are now looking to scale the commercial team due to a large bank white labelling product, predicting to provide thousands of warm business customers who are looking for lending.

  • Act as an advisor to our partners to help them identify the quality leads we are looking for.
  • Being one of the first hires in the team, you can help to implement policy & best practice.

Experience:
