HNW Loan Originator - Property Finance - Southampton
Ready to originate multi-million-pound real estate deals with a lender that plays in the big leagues?
This is a rare opportunity to join a powerhouse in the alternative lending space—a financial institution with deep pockets, a fearless approach to lending, and an ambitious vision to hit £1 billion in UK lending in the coming years. They’ve already funded £500m+ in just 18 months and are looking for high-calibre professionals to drive their growth even further.
About the Company
This lender is part of a globally established financial group with 50+ years of success and billions in funding power. Backed by their own capital and major financial institutions, they don’t chase rates—they focus on big-ticket deals between £2M and £100M, with an average deal size of £15M-£20M.
The UK team is lean but growing fast, with a strategic plan to triple headcount over the next few years. They foster a dynamic, entrepreneurial culture where experience, dealmaking ability, and relationships matter more than title-chasing.
About the Loan Originator Role
You’ll be at the forefront of big-ticket property finance, operating at the highest level of the market. Your job is to build relationships, uncover opportunities, and execute on high-value deals—not to compete in a race to the bottom on rates.
Instead of chasing small deals month after month, you’ll be structuring and executing 5-6 high-value transactions a year, some in the £50M+ range. You’ll be client-facing, in the market, and building meaningful relationships with key brokers, investors, and decision-makers.
