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 London and Southeast 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 is covering the following postcodes: RG,SL, KT, TW, UB, HA, WD, HP, AL, SG, NW, N, IG, LU, EN, RM, SS,CM and due to the nature of the role, the ideal candidate will be based in any of these areas.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage and grow a panel of mortgage intermediaries within the defined London and Southeast 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.

The successful individual will possess:

  • 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 in one of the postcodes mentioned.  
  • A CeMap qualification is highly desirable.

In return you will be rewarded with a competitive salary and 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.
