About Tide

At Tide we help SMEs save time (and money) in the running of their businesses by not only offering business accounts and related banking services, but also a comprehensive set of highly usable and connected administrative solutions from invoicing to accounting.

Tide is transforming the small business banking market with over 1.8 million members globally across the UK, India, Germany and France. Using advanced technology, all solutions are designed with SMEs in mind. With quick onboarding, low fees and innovative features, we thrive on making data-driven decisions to serve our mission: to help SMEs save both time and money so they can get back to doing what they love.

Funding Options joined the Tide family in early 2023 to lead their Partner Credit Services offering. Through a panel of 80 leading lender partners, Funding Options supports UK SMEs to get the right finance in place so they can trade, plan and grow with confidence. Through their multi award-winning platform, Funding Cloud, they can effectively match customers to the right lender and finance product that best suits their needs in minutes with funding decisions in as little as 20 seconds, giving every customer a 5 star experience whether successful or not, through our sheer professionalism and outstanding standard of customer service.

We are looking for an Asset Finance Specialist to join our Sales Team and help as many customers as possible access the right finance, through effective conversations — taking the time to understand the businesses you engage with (how they work, growth plans, challenges, their experience of finance so far) and understanding customers’ finance needs and effectively matching them to the best product and lender that meets their need, giving every customer a 5 Star experience whether successful or not, through our professionalism and mind-blowing standard of customer service.
