Recruitment Expert – Mortgages, Savings and Lending
Business Development Manager
Field based role South Coast region (covering from Southampton & Portsmouth on the South coast, across Surrey & Kent, and into South London)
Circa £55K plus generous performance-based bonus and car allowance
About the Role:
Our client, a building society based in The Midlands, is seeking a highly capable and personable Business Development Manager (BDM) to take ownership of the key South Coast territory. This role involves more than sales — it requires managing complex cases from DIP through to completion, working closely with brokers, underwriters, and credit teams to deliver bespoke lending solutions, often in high-value, complex mortgage and bridging scenarios. It is ideal for a seasoned BDM with deep knowledge of the specialist lending market or a roving underwriter seeking a more commercially focused, relationship-driven role.
Key Responsibilities:
* Manage and grow a panel of mortgage intermediaries within the South Coast area.
* Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline from enquiry and DIP to Credit Committee, ensuring smooth handover to Case Management and Underwriting teams.
* Develop relationships through review meetings, networking events, and strategic planning to increase application volumes and intermediary engagement.
* Manage your territory and time effectively, engaging face-to-face and virtually.
* Monitor and measure performance against key metrics including volume targets and conversion ratios.
What We’re Looking For:
* Strong understanding of the UK specialist mortgage market and intermediary channels in the Southern region.
Essential Experience & Qualifications:
* Proven success in a BDM or sales role within the intermediary mortgage market.
* Experience managing mortgage intermediary relationships.
* Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle.
* Based within the geographical region (Southampton, Guildford, Redhill, Brighton, Portsmouth, Medway, Kingston Upon Thames, Sutton, Croydon, Bromley, Kent, Dartmouth).
In return, you will receive a competitive salary, uncapped bonus scheme, car allowance, and mileage reimbursement. The role offers remote working flexibility and autonomy over your territory. Join a forward-thinking organization with a supportive team, regular training, and development opportunities.
