About the Role
Our client, a building society based in The Midlands, is in need of a highly capable and personable Business Development Manager (BDM) to take ownership of the key South Coast territory. This is more than a sales role — it requires someone who can follow complex cases from DIP through to completion, working closely with brokers, underwriters, and credit teams to deliver bespoke lending solutions, often in the high-value, complex mortgage and bridging space. This role would suit a seasoned BDM with a deep understanding of the specialist lending market or a roving underwriter looking to move into a more commercially focused, relationship-driven role.
Key Responsibilities:
* Manage and grow a panel of mortgage intermediaries within the defined South Coast area.
* Build a strong sales pipeline—from enquiry and DIP through to Credit Committee—ensuring smooth handover to Case Management and Underwriting teams.
* Cultivate relationships through review meetings, networking events, and strategic planning to increase application volumes and intermediary engagement.
* Actively manage your territory and time, ensuring effective face-to-face and virtual engagement.
* Monitor and measure performance against key metrics including volume targets and conversion ratios.
What We’re Looking For
Skills & Competencies:
* A 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.
* Previous experience managing mortgage intermediary relationships.
* Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle.
* Must be based within the defined geographical region (Southampton / Guildford / Redhill / Brighton / Portsmouth / Medway / Kingston Upon Thames / Sutton / Croydon / Bromley / Kent / Dartmouth areas).
* CeMAP qualification.
In return you will be rewarded with a competitive salary and uncapped bonus scheme, car allowance and mileage reimbursement. The role offers the flexibility of remote working and autonomy over your territory. The opportunity to shape and grow a key region in a forward-thinking organisation in a supportive and collaborative team environment with regular training and development.
