About Trade Mastermind

Trade Mastermind is a leading UK business education and growth organisation, helping ambitious business owners build more profitable, scalable and successful businesses.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for a commercially driven Commercial Funding Manager to take ownership of our post-sale funding process, ensuring customer funding is approved and received as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, results-driven position focused on managing the funding journey from signed customer contract through to successful payment.

Working closely with approved third-party brokers, lenders and internal teams, you will be responsible for progressing funding applications, resolving delays and ensuring funds are received by the business efficiently.

A key focus will be improving cash flow, reducing funding costs and identifying opportunities to streamline processes.

This is not a traditional finance or accounting role. We are looking for someone who understands commercial lending, takes ownership of outcomes and thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

You will manage the end-to-end post-sale funding process, ensuring applications progress smoothly from contract signature through to funding approval, drawdown and cash received.

This will involve working closely with third-party brokers and lenders, coordinating funding applications, collecting and verifying documentation, including KYC requirements, and proactively resolving any issues that could delay payment.

You will assess suitable funding routes through approved providers, including business loans, iWalker and Premium Credit, while minimising reliance on higher-cost funding options.

You will also monitor funding performance, improve time-to-cash, maximise successful cash conversion and identify opportunities to improve processes and operational efficiency.

About You

We are looking for a commercially minded individual with experience in commercial finance, business lending, funding operations or brokerage support.

You will have a strong understanding of business lending products, lender requirements and funding documentation, including KYC and AML processes.

Experience managing relationships with brokers and lenders is highly desirable, alongside excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple funding cases simultaneously.

You must be a confident communicator who is comfortable chasing outstanding information, overcoming challenges and working towards measurable performance targets.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is proactive, accountable and motivated by delivering results.

Compliance

All finance arrangements are facilitated through authorised third-party brokers. This position does not involve providing financial advice or directly brokering finance.

What We Offer

* Competitive basic salary of £35,000 – £45,000

* Uncapped earning potential of £70,000 – £90,000+

* Performance-related bonus linked to successful cash conversion

* Company pension scheme

* Health and well-being programme

* Birthday off

* Free on-site parking

* Modern office environment with opportunities for career progression

Why Join Trade Mastermind?

This is an opportunity to join an ambitious, fast-growing organisation where your contribution will have a direct impact on commercial performance and business cash flow.
