An exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing UK lender launching and scaling its specialist cashflow and leveraged lending platform.

We’re seeking an ambitious Origination Director to drive new business, build market presence and play a key role in the platform’s growth.

The lender provides £1m–£10m cashflow-led and leveraged finance solutions to established, profitable UK SMEs that are often underserved by traditional banks due to limited tangible security.

This is a chance to make your mark from day one, with the freedom to build your own market, leverage your existing network and originate significant transactions, backed by experienced credit, risk and product teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Originate and execute £1m–£10m SME cashflow and leveraged lending transactions.
• Build and develop relationships with intermediaries, introducers, corporate finance advisers and business owners.
• Identify high-quality SMEs with strong fundamentals and compelling funding needs.
• Structure tailored lending solutions alongside credit and risk teams.
• Manage transactions from initial origination through to completion.
• Help shape the lending proposition and drive the platform’s growth strategy.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in SME cashflow lending, leveraged lending, direct lending or corporate finance origination.
• A strong track record of sourcing and closing £1m+ transactions.
• An established network of introducers, advisers and business owners.
• Strong expertise in cashflow-based credit assessment, lending structures and credit risk.
• An entrepreneurial, commercially driven and relationship-led approach.
