Longer-term, there’s scope to build a team and take ownership of the region, making this an ideal opportunity for someone ambitious and commercially minded.

The role would suit someone with Trade Credit experience who enjoys networking and business development, but backgrounds incommercial finance or credit risk with client-facing experience will also be considered. The ability to work autonomously while fitting into a close-knit team is essential, as is a proactive, relationship-driven approach. Ideally, candidates will have three to five years’ experience in a Client Director or similar role.

The package includes a competitive salary in the range of £45,000 to £65,000, plus car allowance, bonus, and a full benefits package. Hybrid working is available, with Birmingham as the base and occasional travel to London and the South.
