• 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.
• 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.
