Executive/Senior Executive - Legal

Since our launch in 2015, we’ve lent over £10bn to ambitious entrepreneurs up and down the UK. That’s led to the creation of over 40,000 new jobs and over 29,000 new homes – and we’re not about to stop there. We’re dedicated to helping trailblazing businesses thrive and our Finance team are the drivers of our growth.

 

As Senior Executive in the Transactional Execution Team (TET), you will play a pivotal role in supporting the end-to-end execution of lending transactions. The role involves working closely with deal teams, legal counsel, credit, and external stakeholders to ensure timely and accurate deal closing, documentation, and post-sanction execution.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing bank with a reputation for doing things differently.

We don’t want another cog in the machine; we’re looking for self-starters and bold thinkers who want to pave their own career paths.
