A leading independent broker is looking for an experienced Trade Credit professional to help establish and grow its presence in the Midlands. This is a strategic role based in Birmingham, offering autonomy and the chance to shape a regional strategy over time. The Trade Credit team is currently based in the South, but theres a clear focus on building out the Midlands market, supported by strong internal relationships and a proven growth plan. The position will involve developing new business and building networks, particularly through introducers, which is a key part of how the division operates. There will be some transferable clients and a steady stream of leads from other parts of the business, but success will come from creating and nurturing relationships, delivering consistently, and producing results. Longer-term, theres scope to build a team and take ownership of the region, making this an ideal opportunity for someone ambitious and commercially minded. The role would suit someone with Trade Credit experience who enjoys networking and business development, but backgrounds incommercial finance or credit risk with client-facing experience will also be considered. The ability to work autonomously while fitting into a close-knit team is essential, as is a proactive, relationship-driven approach. Ideally, candidates will have three to five years experience in a Client Director or similar role. The package includes a competitive salary in the range of £45,000 to £65,000, plus car allowance, bonus, and a full benefits package. Hybrid working is available, with Birmingham as the base and occasional travel to London and the South. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a growth area and play a key role in shaping the future of a successful division.
