Business Development Manager (Telephone-Based) - South Manchester

Looking to build your career in bridging finance with one of the market's most entrepreneurial specialist lenders?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, privately funded specialist property lender with an excellent reputation in the bridging finance market. The business has built its success by combining experienced, commercial decision-making with exceptional service, enabling brokers to move quickly and complete deals with confidence.

Specialising in bridging finance for residential, semi-commercial and commercial property transactions, they've developed a reputation for finding practical lending solutions where others can't. Their relationship-led approach, fast turnaround times and innovative in-house valuation model give brokers genuine confidence and a compelling reason to keep coming back.

As lending volumes continue to grow, they're investing in their sales team with the appointment of a Telephone Business Development Manager.

This is far more than a traditional internal sales role. You'll become a trusted contact for brokers, learning the intricacies of bridging finance, deal structuring and relationship management while developing the skills and experience to progress into a field-based Business Development Manager position.

Being office-based five days a week means you'll work alongside experienced underwriters, decision-makers and business developers every day, giving you unrivalled exposure to complex bridging cases, broker conversations and the full lending process.

The Role

Working with brokers across the specialist property finance market, you'll:

• Develop and strengthen relationships with new and existing broker partners.
• Handle inbound enquiries and proactively contact brokers to generate new business opportunities.
• Discuss lending scenarios, understand clients' requirements and identify suitable funding solutions.
• Promote the lender's specialist proposition, including its fast, relationship-led approach and unique in-house valuation process that helps brokers complete deals more efficiently.
• Work closely with underwriting and case management to ensure applications progress smoothly from enquiry through to completion.
• Maintain regular contact with intermediaries to maximise conversion rates and encourage repeat business.
• Keep abreast of market activity and competitor trends while identifying opportunities to grow your broker network.

Who We're Looking For

• This role would suit someone with experience in:
• Specialist property finance, bridging, buy-to-let, commercial lending or mortgages.
• Working with brokers or intermediary partners.
• Telephone-based business development, sales or account management.
• A target-driven environment where relationship building is central to success.
• Most importantly, you'll be commercially minded, enjoy speaking with people, and be looking for a business where you can develop a long-term career rather than simply fill another sales role.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary & performance-related bonus.
• Office-based in Altrincham (Monday to Friday)
• Genuine opportunity to progress into an external Business Development Manager role.
• Daily exposure to experienced lending professionals, helping you develop your technical knowledge and commercial awareness.
• Join an ambitious, entrepreneurial lender where good ideas are welcomed, decisions are made quickly, and you'll have genuine visibility across the business.
• A market-leading lending proposition that gives brokers a compelling reason to do business with you.

If you're looking to build your career with a specialist lender that's growing for the right reasons, values relationships over bureaucracy, and offers genuine long-term progression, we'd love to hear from you.
