OVERALL SUMMARY
At Close Brothers we look to recruit individuals from all different backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and are open to discuss flexible work options to help you balance your work and home life.
Join the Close Brothers Asset Finance Team where you will be responsible for driving business growth, while building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with SME customers and key industry stakeholders within the Transport sector.

Build and maintain strong, long-lasting relationships with customers by understanding their needs and providing tailored solutions to foster repeat business.
Manage the end-to-end sales cycle including ensuring timely and precise service delivery and providing customers with the relevant information to close the deal.
Serve as a knowledgeable and credible finance partner by staying informed of relevant products, market trends, customer needs and competitive landscape.
Ensure full compliance with all governance, regulatory and internal requirements, including the accurate and timely completion of all reporting and review activities mandated by regulatory bodies.
Work collaboratively with the Risk function to ensure the consistent alignment of objectives, adhering fully to the principles of the Enterprise Risk Management framework of the Close Brothers Group.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU HAVE/ARE:
A proven ability to cultivate strong relationships and communicate proficiently with stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally.
A results-driven professional with a history of consistently surpassing sales targets.
Highly self-motivated and exceptionally organised.
Expertise in negotiation, presentation, and closing deals, employing a consultative sales approach.
Strong commercial insight and an in-depth understanding of industry trends, business drivers and customer needs.
IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAVE/ARE:
Advanced problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate complex financial scenarios.
A proven track record in business development and strategic planning to drive growth.
Adaptable to rapidly changing market conditions and customer needs.
Experience with the Transport sector and relevant equipment / assets.
