Business Development Director

Regional Director - Sales

Our client is a specialty finance and working capital platform led by US based commercial lending specialists, recently expanding into the UK to meet growing demand for flexible, client focused solutions. Originally founded in the United States, the company has successfully grown into the Continental European market. Its entry into the UK represents the third phase of its international expansion, building on its established presence in the US and Europe.

We are seeking a senior, highly networked Business Development Officer (BDO) to join the existing UK based sales team and originate and build a high-quality UK domestic and international book, targeting c. £15–20M+ in annual new commitments, with a focus on bespoke client-solutions oriented deals in the higher-yield segment (not a bank with loss-leaders).

Deals will mainly focus on lending solutions across Invoice Finance, Trade Finance and Supply Chain Solutions.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Senior originator (10+ years) with deep UK SME/mid-market expertise

Established introducer base across brokers, accountants, law firms, restructuring advisors, PE sponsors, introducers, and direct clients

Proven track record originating receivables finance, invoice discounting/factoring, supply-chain finance, and structured working capital solutions

Independent sourcing, qualification, and onboarding capability

Relationship-driven, commercially sharp, results-oriented

Team player comfortable with high autonomy + accountability in a fast-scaling operation and multicultural environment

Why Join?

Shape and lead UK growth, including building a larger sales team below him/her and direct access to key decision-makers

Competitive compensation: strong base salary + performance-based variable/bonus

True flexibility: remote-first (London office available), multi-currency/jurisdiction deals, no concentration caps or balance-sheet constraints

Tech-enabled origination: automate admin/underwriting support so you focus on deals; rapid credit turnaround

Core business will be diversified/insurable books but also open to structured solutions on growing or transitional credits where risk-reward is justified

Broader value-add: leverage deep networks across Europe and the US, where we offer client intros, growth capital, or M&A support beyond pure working capital solutions for select clients

You will be rewarded with an excellent basic salary and bonus potential.
