Are you currently working in bridging or buy-to-let finance, supporting deals from offer to redemption?

Are you craving more ownership, recognition, and career progression? This could be your moment.

We're partnered with one of the most exciting specialist lenders in the market – a high-performing bank with big ambitions, a strong reputation, and an incredibly collaborative culture. They're looking for a Portfolio Manager to join their growing London-based team and be at the heart of their Bridging and Specialist Mortgages operation.

About the Company

This is a specialist UK bank built on deep sector expertise and a sharp focus on underserved parts of the lending market. With specialist divisions in Bridging Finance, Development Finance, and Buy-to-Let Mortgages, their mission is to support property professionals with smart, flexible lending solutions – and to do it faster and better than the rest.

In short: they’re not just in the market – they’re shaping it.

About the Portfolio Manager Role

As a Portfolio Manager, you'll become the key point of contact for customers and brokers once the loan completes. This isn’t a back-office admin role — it’s a dynamic, client-facing position where your knowledge and judgement directly influence customer outcomes and the bank’s reputation.

You’ll manage a portfolio of bridging and BTL loans, guiding customers through post-completion queries like term extensions, part releases, and facility variations. You’ll work closely with underwriters, risk teams, and senior stakeholders to ensure each case is handled with precision, speed, and exceptional service.

• Act as the primary contact for post-completion enquiries from brokers, borrowers, and colleagues.
• Manage requests such as facility extensions, part releases, and redemption processes.
• Own your pipeline of account variations and keep all stakeholders informed.
• Prepare and present credit proposals for changes to existing facilities.
• Monitor accounts nearing maturity and ensure timely resolution of redemptions or extensions.
• Identify and escalate early warning indicators or risk concerns.
• Maintain up-to-date, accurate records across all internal systems.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with underwriting, risk, legal, and leadership teams.
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced pension

Skills & Experience Required

• Experience in Bridging Finance, Buy-to-Let, or Specialist Lending
• Familiarity with managing customer portfolios or post-completion processes
• Confident communicator – able to liaise with brokers, borrowers, and senior leaders
• Strong understanding of lending procedures, risk, and credit
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and proactive in problem-solving

Why Apply?

Career Progression – You’ll be joining a fast-scaling team within a bank that’s investing heavily in its specialist lending divisions. This is a high-visibility role with plenty of upward mobility.

Specialist Lending Growth – Be part of one of the most exciting growth stories in UK specialist lending – and enjoy the ride.
