Job description

We are SimplyBiz Mortgages, an award-winning Mortgage Club, and we're looking for a new member of the corporate account team. We've recently added Best Mortgage Club to our list of accolades, and we're not stopping there. With big plans for expansion in the coming months, we need someone like you to help us achieve our goals.

As our Corporate Business Development Manager, you'll play a crucial role in nurturing and maintaining strong relationships with our key accounts, while also seeking out new Member Firms.

This dynamic position combines field-based activities within the Home Counties with sales, administration, and support work from the comfort of your own home. So, if you reside in or around the Home Counties and you enjoy a mix of on-the-go action and remote work, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Here's what you'll be doing:

  • Your flexibility and self-organisation skills will be essential. You'll spend around 40% of your working week in the field visiting our key accounts, and the remaining time working from home
  • Collaborating with the Head of Corporate Accounts, you'll identify new business opportunities to enhance the profitability and raise awareness of SimplyBiz Mortgages. You'll reach out and network with key Member Firms, showcasing the benefits of using our payment paths and/or compliance services.
  • Working closely with our key account firms, you'll help increase their mortgage, protection and general insurance penetration. Monitoring overall business growth, you'll develop strategic business plans to measure success.
  • You'll provide support and training to our wider SimplyBiz teams, ensuring we offer a comprehensive service proposition to our key accounts.
  • Your ability to run varying events, anticipate challenges, and troubleshoot problems if they occur will be invaluable. You'll also be confident presenting to large audiences, delivering an effective pitch with the right tone and pace.
  • When needed, you'll collaborate effectively with lender and provider Corporate Managers, building strong relationships.
  • As part of this role, you'll be responsible for producing performance reports, conducting data analysis, and providing management information for our key accounts.

What you need to succeed:

We're seeking an individual who possesses a solid understanding of the protection, mortgage, and general insurance market. Whilst having CeMAP and RO5 qualifications would be preferred, they are not essential. Previous experience in the intermediary sector is a must, showcasing your ability to motivate and influence Directly Authorised intermediaries. If you have a proven track record in business development or account management within the financial sector, that would be a plus. We’re also looking for someone who can coordinate effective training sessions and deliver bespoke presentations to audiences of different sizes, while confidently managing Q&A sessions. Your ability to proactively overcome objections will be pivotal to success in this role, and having a moderate level of compliance knowledge is essential. Additionally, strong IT skills are a key requirement.
