This is a consultative sales role centred on long-term growth, high conversion rates, and scalable success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Present and embed Millbrook’s finance solutions into their sales process
• Train and support sales teams on how to sell with finance
• Convert referrals and inbound leads into live, fundable deals
• Manage your own pipeline and maintain strong introductory relationships
• Collaborate with the internal sales team to deliver smooth customer journeys
• Represent Millbrook at industry events, exhibitions, and meetings
• Log all activity accurately in CRM and internal systems
• Maintain strong market awareness of financial products, industry trends, and competitor activity
• Meet and exceed personal revenue targets while contributing to team performance
  
  

What You’ll Bring:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a business development role within a B2B finance environment with a focus on asset finance and business loans.
• Demonstrated success in outbound sales and relationship management
• Proven success in developing and managing commercial partnerships
• Strong understanding of finance structures, especially asset finance and unsecured loans.
• Comfortable presenting and managing long-term relationships
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A consultative, commercially minded approach to business development
• High energy, initiative, and ability to work independently
• Teachable, motivated and open to feedback and development
• A passion for helping UK businesses succeed through better access to finance
  
  

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive salary of £45,000 – £50,000 (DOE)
• Uncapped commission structure with no threshold
• Flexible working options — office-based or hybrid (post probation)
• Enhanced holiday allowance + bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Structured progression routes as the business continues to grow
• A collaborative, high-energy working environment with a strong team culture
• Regular social events, incentives, and seasonal celebration
