- Hybrid working with a Manchester City Centre office base
- Home working with regular travel to meet brokers and intermediaries
- Genuine career progression within a growing lender
- Supportive, collaborative and ambitious team culture

As Business Development Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining strong relationships with mortgage brokers, financial intermediaries and professional introducers across your region.
You’ll spend your time meeting brokers, identifying new lending opportunities, growing existing relationships and working closely with the underwriting team to ensure an outstanding service from enquiry through to completion.
This role is about becoming the lender of choice for your network through exceptional relationship management, responsiveness and market knowledge.
