About the position

Break into bridging, development, and commercial lending, a rare chance to fast-track your career in some of the most in-demand areas of finance. As a Commercial Finance Business Development Executive, you'll be the go-to contact for brokers and intermediaries, building relationships, structuring deals, and driving lending volumes in a high-impact, outbound telephone sales role. This is your opportunity to gain hands-on experience across bridging loans, development finance, and commercial mortgages, areas usually closed to those without prior experience.

We're looking for someone with proven, target-driven outbound sales experience in lending, financial services, or intermediary sales. Backgrounds in self-employed broking or targeted sales are highly advantageous. You'll be confident, persuasive, and articulate, skilled at handling objections, and able to build strong, lasting broker relationships. If you're highly organised, adaptable, and commercially minded, with the drive to convert opportunities into measurable business growth, this is the role to accelerate your career in specialist finance.

Responsibilities

• Proactively call and build new and existing broker/intermediary relationships to drive new business.
• Gain in-depth expertise in bridging, development, and commercial finance products, criteria, and USPs.
• Assess enquiries, generate terms, and progress applications efficiently within SLAs.
• Work closely with the field-based BDM to maximise broker relationships and sales opportunities.
• Respond quickly to enquiries and follow up to secure business.
• Maintain accurate CRM records (HubSpot).
• Present product propositions and benefits to brokers via calls or virtual meetings.
• Identify opportunities, structure deals, and ensure smooth progression through to completion.
• Introduce new broker firms and provide regional support information.

Experience and skills

• Target-driven outbound sales experience is essential, ideally in lending, financial services, or intermediary sales.
• Background in lending, targeted sales, intermediary sales, or self-employed broking is highly advantageous.
• Understanding of bridging, development, or commercial finance is desirable but not essential (full training provided).
• Confident, persuasive, and articulate communicator with excellent objection-handling skills.
• Proven ability to build and maintain strong relationships with brokers or intermediaries.
• Organised, adaptable, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Proactive, commercially minded, and motivated to convert opportunities into results.
