• Manage all stakeholders from approval to drawdown
• Coordinate KYC, AML, and regulatory checks
• Work closely with Lending, Portfolio, and Risk teams
• Maintain high service standards with brokers and clients

Package

• Hybrid to London Office
• Join a team of 11–12 RMs (mix of junior and senior)
• Strong training and onboarding

Required skills and experience

• Background in mainstream banking or similar lending environment
