Octane Capital – why we exist
Let Us Tell You a Bit About Us
You could say we’re an old hand in this market. Our roots in specialist lending date back to 2009 and our team have lent over £4 billion across 3,000 loans. Since then we’ve seen every kind of deal: big, small, complex, and vanilla. We’ve assembled one of the market’s most experienced teams to ensure we have the best chance of helping your clients.
Let Us Tell You a Bit About The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join Octane Capital, a market‑leading specialist property lender, as a Business Development Manager. Since launching in 2017, Octane Capital has built a strong reputation for service excellence and innovation within short‑term property lending, supporting brokers and customers across the UK.
In this role, you’ll play a key part in growing Octane Capital’s Bridging, Refurbishment and Developer Exit lending by building trusted, long‑term relationships with brokers. Rather than being desk‑bound, you’ll have the autonomy to manage a defined sales region, spend time in the field, and work directly with introducers to structure complex property finance transactions.
You’ll be part of a high‑performing, collaborative sales team and work closely with senior stakeholders, including the Managing Director (Sales), in a fast‑paced and entrepreneurial environment where your impact will be visible and valued.
What will your day look like?
