This role within our Growth Finance team is focused on deal origination and is a specialist lending role under Strategic Finance. The successful candidate will be required to use their market knowledge and external KBI network to originate and deliver debt-led transactions that generate strong income and returns within our risk and regulatory framework.

We are a well-established and respected participant in the UK venture debt market, with a strong and proven track record of supporting high-growth businesses that are fast-scaling, innovation-led and technology-enabled and our non-dilutive capital plays a critical role in enabling growth.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
