Trainee Business Development Manager

The Loans Engine is one of the UK's leading specialist mortgage, bridging loan and commercial mortgage brokerages, based in Watford, North London. Our goal is to become the market leader in the UK by 2025. We generate most of our new business leads through mortgage intermediaries who are our partners.

Our partners expect the best and our business model is to deliver the very best service to them supported by our in house award-winning underwriting software.

Our business development managers are responsible for managing the day to day relationship needs of our partners. You will act as the go-between these partners and our mortgage advisors ensuring that each and every partner receives world class service on each new lead. Your overall goal is to ensure our partners are successful when dealing with us. If they are successful then we will be.

Our service is delivered entirely via telephone and online so to be successful you need a confident telephone manner and the ability to instil trust in the partners you work with. The more they trust us the more they will use us to our mutual advantage. So you need to be attentive, engaging and have a real passion for customer service. That way you will build loyalty and an ever broadening portfolio of happy and successful partners.

• Educate your partners on our proposition to use our service again and again;


• Provide high-quality, world class service to your partners;


• Establish rapport with your partners and build lasting relationships;


• Recommend solutions to your partners that meet their clients' needs;


• Maintain and update accurate activity and partner records;


• Meet sales targets and objectives as set by the firm;


• Comply with Financial Conduct Authority rules and regulations (this will be trained).


What's more there are plenty of opportunities for career progression as well. On making a success of this role you could consider training as a mortgage advisor or underwriter. Or become a manager. Each member of our management team started as a Trainee within the firm.

What are we really looking for from our Trainee Business Development Managers?

Experience tells us that people from a banking, insurance, estate agency, sales or similar background adapt most quickly to working in a specialist mortgage brokerage like us.

However, most of all we are looking for people with great attitudes and great values. Thirty five years of experience tells us that we can train most people to become a business development manager but our best managers have our values in their souls and we cannot train that. Either you have it or you don't. We want to recruit trainee business development managers with the potential to be great - you will need to share our values to do that.
