FINVISE delivers RICS valuations in hours, not days. We're a new-generation property valuation firm powered by proprietary technology, ISO 27001- and 42001-certified. Our core focus is fast, reliable valuations for mortgage lenders, particularly in short-term and bridging finance. Adjacent verticals - local authority accounting valuations and insurance reinstatement valuations - are emerging opportunities we're exploring. Named lender clients are live, the technology works, and the model is proven. What we need now is a commercial lead to turn warm relationships into a steady, growing book. You’ll have real influence and the chance to shape your own role: no big-company red tape, no waiting years for your ideas to matter.
The Role
A front-line growth role reporting directly to the CEO. You will own our lender go-to-market and drive the pipeline of valuation instructions. You will:
- Win new business with mortgage lenders, especially in short-term and bridging finance, securing panel appointments and instructions
- Grow your network of lender contacts and deepen relationships across the bridging and specialist lending market
- Own the full sales cycle: outreach, demos, proposals, follow-up, close
- Act as a trusted adviser to existing accounts, growing and retaining revenue
- Partner with the founding team and wider business to shape and execute our go-to-market strategy - across online channels (webinars, digital marketing, content) and offline (organising and hosting launch events, attending conferences, industry networking). Please note that some ad-hoc travel will be required.
- Set targets, hit them, and keep the pipeline clean with regular reporting
- Feed market insight and competitive intelligence back into pricing, product and go-to-market
- Work closely with the valuation team to ensure smooth client onboarding
What We're Looking For
Essential
- A warm, active network within mortgage lenders - ideally in short-term and bridging finance - that you can call on from day one
- Strong knowledge of the UK mortgage industry and the specialist lender landscape
- 5+ years of new business / quota-carrying experience in lending or financial services BD
- Strategic thinker who can spot market openings and turn them into revenue
- Comfortable with CRM discipline and pipeline hygiene
- High integrity, with a sharp eye on regulatory and compliance considerations
- Startup energy: adaptable, growth-minded, willing to roll up your sleeves
Good to have
- Contacts within local authorities (finance and asset management teams) for accounting valuation work
- Relationships in the insurance market relevant to reinstatement cost assessments
- Experience with CCS (Crown Commercial Service) procurement and tendering
- Experience running events, webinars or commercial campaigns
- Working knowledge of the RICS valuation landscape, lender panel processes, and turnaround expectations in specialist lending
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary plus performance commission - your success drives your earnings
- Hybrid working from our office in the City
- A direct line to the founding team and CEO from day one
- The chance to shape commercial strategy at a backed, established RICS firm in breakout mode
- A genuinely great bunch to work with: we take on big challenges together, look out for each other, and make time to have fun along the way
