Job description

How you'll help us live our purpose

We've been helping our members save for their future and buy a home of their own since 1875. By joining us, you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.

It's a purpose that drives everything we do and one we're proud of. And you can play your part too – we have an opportunity to join our Intermediary Distribution team as a Business Development Manager covering South Manchester and the surrounding area which will include Chester, Stoke-on-Trent, Derby and North Wales. If you're interested, you must live within this area to be able to fulfil the role, as you will be field based and will need to travel to meet new and existing clients.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Business Development professional with experience of working in Financial Services with Mortgage Brokers and Independent Financial Advisors to work for a business that has grown significantly in the past few years and is investing in its transformation, people and strategy.

How you'll make a difference

You'll be a self starter who'll develop highly effective relationships with Intermediary firms, their brokers and key personnel and achieve regional development KPI's across a range of quality and quantity measures. You'll be organised to deliver the sales performance objectives for each Intermediary firm as agreed with the Head of Intermediary Sales and to ensure the Intermediary firms and brokers are kept fully informed about our criteria, product ranges, services and changes to terms and conditions.

What will you bring to the role?

You will have worked in a Business Development role previously within Financial Services and you'll also have the following:

• Proven business to business (B2B) sales management experience within the UK mortgage market.
• Strong influencing, PowerPoint (presentations) and communication skills.
• A track record of building and maintaining close third-party relationships.
• Strong mortgage industry and distribution knowledge.
• Ability to work independently, from home and in the field with face to face broker meetings.

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• An annual colleague bonus of up to 12%
• Matched pension contributions of up to 10%
• Car allowance £5,800
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme of up to 5 days each year
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
