Senior Business Development Manager

The opportunity 

Here at Omni Capital Retail Finance Ltd, we are on an evolutionary journey. As part of Castle Trust Bank, a privately owned bank, we are much more agile than many of the other key players in this space, meaning that we can flex our approach to bespoke retailer/sector requirements, as well as a changing financial landscape. As a fintech, our technology is proprietary – allowing us to react to opportunities, the economic environment and the changing retailer environment. The loans that we offer truly improve the lives of our customers and help to drive our retailer partners business. We work with some of the biggest national brands across many of our sectors, working with more than 2,000 different retailers. 

We’re in the market for a Senior Business Development Manager to join our commercial team where you will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the growth of our retail finance offering. We’re looking to grow in a sustainable way, with funding readily available to support that expansion, which is why we are looking for someone who is well connected in the industry with the gravitas and credibility of a high performer and a proven track record of selling into retailers. Our customer net promoter scores and internal engagement results speak for themselves, making this even more an attractive proposition. We’re searching for a team player, someone who is looking to trailblaze with the gravitas to influence and drive acquisitions across a diverse range of retail sectors. 

This is a home-based opportunity; therefore, we are flexible on your location. However, you will be required to work from the London office at least once a week, and our Basingstoke office once every 4-6 weeks. 

What we are looking for in you… 

• Demonstrated background in New Business generation and retailer acquisition (within a Retail Finance setting is advantageous). 
• Ability to communicate and influence at senior stakeholder levels both internally and externally. 
• Proven results delivery through teamwork and investments in relationships/partnerships. 
• A strong understand of third party risk management, the regulatory landscape and Consumer Duty. 
• Commercially astute, with the ability to manage multiple KPIs simultaneously.  

What’s in it for you… 

As well as a competitive salary, competitive performance related bonus based on individual and company performance. In addition, a generous contributory pension scheme through Hargreaves Lansdown, life assurance, 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays on top) with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days (terms apply). In addition, you will receive an extra day paid annual leave for Volunteering. 

Wellbeing is also high on our agenda, and we offer healthcare benefits through Equipsme. In addition, all colleagues have free access to BHSF RISE EAP to support their health and wellbeing. We also offer free eye test vouchers and discounted gym membership, and if that’s not enough, we also offer season ticket travel loans (if applicable).
