The business is happy to consider candidates from Bridging Finance, Development Finance or Specialist Buy-to-Let backgrounds and will provide ongoing training and development.
The Role:
As a Portfolio Manager, you’ll be responsible for managing a portfolio of property-backed lending facilities, ensuring customers receive an exceptional level of service while proactively monitoring risk throughout the lifecycle of each loan.
You’ll work closely with borrowers, brokers and internal stakeholders to oversee facilities from completion through to redemption, while supporting a wide variety of refurbishment and development transactions.
Key Responsibilities:
