BDM - Bridging Finance

The Role

You don't just fill a pipeline you own it. Our client is recruiting two experienced Business Development Managers to lead deal flow for a fast-growing bridging lender. This isn't admin-heavy or hand-holding; it's pure deal-making. You identify the opportunity, build the relationship, close the deal, and bank the commission. Rinse and repeat. If you've got the relationships, the hunger, and a track record of closing £1m+ bridging deals, this is your seat."

What You'll Do:

• Build and nurture a pipeline of bridging finance opportunities (target: 1–2 deals per month)

• Identify and approach property developers, investors, estate agents, and finance brokers

• Qualify opportunities, manage deal flow, and progress cases through underwriting to completion

• Present products and competitive rates to prospects • Manage relationships post-completion through redemption

• Maintain accurate CRM data and weekly reporting

• Attend property industry events and networking to build market presence

Your Numbers:

• Commission: 0.1% on completion (£1,000 per £1m) + 0.05% on redemption (£500 per £1m) = £1,500 per £1m full cycle

• Base salary: £75,000–£85,000 (based on experience and track record)

• Commission paid quarterly on completion, additional revenue on redemption

Essential Experience

You must have proven BDM experience in bridging finance, development finance, or a closely related sector. This is non-negotiable. We're looking for someone with:

• Minimum 2+ years in bridging, development finance, or commercial lending business development • Demonstrated track record of consistent deal sourcing and closing (able to evidence deals closed, values, timelines)

• Direct relationships within the property developer, investor, and broker communities

• Understanding of bridging loan products, terms, rates, and underwriting criteria

• Experience working to £1m+ deal values

• Ability to work independently and self-manage a pipeline

• Strong CRM discipline and reporting

• Comfortable with cold outreach and proactive business development
