Job description

Onyx. is a specialist UK commercial lender, providing development finance and bridging loans to property developers and investors across a broad range of asset types and project sizes. We pride ourselves on our fast, transparent, and relationship‑driven approach. In order to expand the team, Onyx is looking for a Junior Sales Manager, who will be working in the areas of development finance and bridging loans.

Please note, this is an office‑based role in Segensworth, Hampshire, PO15 5TT.

About this role

Are you commercially sharp, eager to learn, and looking to break into the world of property finance?

We’re looking for a motivated, ambitious junior to train in the art of business development, relationship management, and deal execution within the unregulated bridging and development finance market. No prior industry experience is required — just a genuine interest in finance, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn.

This role is designed as a springboard into a long‑term career in specialist lending, with a clear route for internal progression and the support needed to grow into a senior position.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Support senior originators with new loan enquiries, client onboarding, and ongoing relationship management
• Manage inbound sales leads, acting as a first point of contact for borrowers, brokers, and introducers
• Write credit reports for new loan applications across a wide range of deal types and sizes
• Assist with marketing activity — including both online and offline campaigns — with a particular focus on managing Onyx’s social media channels and helping maintain affiliate relationships with key industry bodies
• Coordinate with internal teams, including underwriting, legal, and completions, to ensure smooth deal progression
• Maintain accurate client records, assist with due diligence, and help track live deal status
• Face to face networking, such as broker events, site visits, and client meetings to build your exposure to the full lifecycle of property lending
• Develop in-depth market knowledge in specialist finance, deal structuring, credit risk, and relationship development
• Build your own portfolio of lending clients over time, with ongoing mentoring and support from a senior sales manager

What we are looking for

• Someone who enjoys face‑to‑face interaction and is confident engaging with prospects, clients, and introducers in person
• Commercially minded, proactive, and highly organised
• A genuine interest in property, finance, and business development
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment and juggling multiple priorities
• Degree‑level education is preferred but not essential
• Previous experience in sales, customer service, or financial services is a bonus — but not required

Why join us?

You’ll receive hands‑on training and exposure across the entire lending process — from enquiry to completion. You’ll work directly with a senior manager who will coach you in origination, credit writing, and relationship management.

This is a fast‑track opportunity into a high‑growth career in property finance.

The role offers a competitive basic salary, complemented by a performance‑based bonus and commission structure tied to successful deal activity. You’ll also receive access to a range of additional benefits, including training, mentoring, industry events, and career development opportunities.
