Business Development Manager - Ultimate Banking Ltd : Job Details

Business Development ManagerField based role South Coast region (covering from Southampton & Portsmouth on the South coast, across Surrey & Kent, and into South London)Circa £55K plus generous performance-based bonus and car allowance

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 South Coast 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 would suit a seasoned BDM with a deep understanding of the specialist lending market or a roving underwriter looking to move into a more commercially focused, relationship-driven role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and grow a panel of mortgage intermediaries within the defined South Coast 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.

What We’re Looking For:

Skills & Competencies:

• A strong understanding of the UK specialist mortgage market and intermediary channels in the Southern region.

Essential Experience & Qualifications:

• 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 within the defined geographical region (Southampton / Guildford / Redhill / Brighton / Portsmouth / Medway / Kingston Upon Thames / Sutton / Croydon / Bromley / Kent / Dartmouth areas).
• CeMAP qualification.

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