Job Description

Location:

Hackney, London (office-based with some flexibility for remote work)

Salary:

38,000 base + quarterly performance-linked bonus (uncapped).

Typical OTE:

50,000-65,000, with further upside as the business grows.

The Opportunity

Adelpha Capital is a specialist SME lender providing flexible finance to UK businesses. We are entering an exciting growth phase and are looking for a commercially minded and relationship driven Business Development Executive to help us scale.

You will be at the centre of our origination strategy, on the phone daily, meeting brokers face-to-face and driving loan volume through new and existing relationships. Unlike many lender roles, this is a genuinely active sales position; ideal for someone who thrives on building relationships, developing opportunities and seeing their impact directly in results. This is a hands-on, high activity role where success is measured by funded loans and relationships built.

What you will do

Source and onboard new brokers and introducers across England and Wales, constantly expanding our reach. Re-energise existing relationships to increase funded volumes and re-activate dormant accounts. Be highly active; on the phone daily, meeting introducers face-to-face and representing Adelpha Capital at key industry events. Promote Adelpha Capital's lending products confidently and persuasively, tailoring solutions to introducer needs. Manage live applications to ensure smooth communication between introducers, borrowers, and our credit team. Provide market insight back to management to shape product, pricing, and credit appetite. Play an active role in refining how we engage with introducers and grow market share.

What we are looking for

You must have hands-on sales experience in SME lending, commercial finance, or finance brokerage; this role requires someone who can hit the ground running. Strong communicator who builds rapport easily and enjoys being on the phone. Organised, proactive, comfortable managing multiple priorities and commercially driven. Motivated by results and contribution, with the energy to build and convert a steady pipeline. Keen to take ownership and grow into a senior role as the business scales.

Why join Adelpha Capital

Be part of something growing.

You will be the first hire dedicated to introducer development; a chance to shape how we build relationships and drive origination as the business scales.

Work directly with decision-makers.

You will report to the MD and collaborate across credit and operations, gaining visibility into every part of the lending process.

No layers of bureaucracy.

Your ideas and activity directly drive results. Performance recognised, not just rewarded. We offer a quarterly, performance-linked bonus with no cap, recognising consistent origination and relationship growth rather than one-off wins.

Real progression.

As we grow, you will have the opportunity to move into a senior business development or leadership role, shaping the future of Adelpha's commercial strategy.

A culture that values initiative and integrity.

We back people who are proactive, honest, and committed to long-term success; both theirs and ours.
