Are you ambitious, good with numbers and interested in building a successful career within property and finance?

We are working with an established specialist finance business that is looking for a bright and motivated individual to join its Cardiff team. You don’t need previous commercial finance or broking experience, as you’ll receive structured training, professional qualifications and one-to-one mentoring from two experienced finance brokers.

This is a genuine career opportunity where you’ll learn how to arrange commercial mortgages, bridging and development finance, with the aim of progressing into a fully qualified Commercial Finance Broker within approximately 12–18 months.

• Speaking with clients, lenders, solicitors and valuers
• Researching suitable funding options for different client requirements
• Gathering and reviewing financial and property-related information
• Assisting with the preparation and packaging of finance applications
• Keeping clients updated and helping transactions progress smoothly
• Developing your understanding of commercial mortgages, bridging and development finance
• Gradually taking responsibility for your own cases as your experience grows

You should have:

• At least 12 months’ experience within a professional working environment
• Strong numerical skills and excellent attention to detail
• Confident written and verbal communication skills
• A professional and enthusiastic approach
• Good organisation and time-management skills
• The ability to build rapport with clients and colleagues
• A genuine willingness to learn and develop
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• A degree or previous financial services experience would be beneficial, but neither is essential.

What’s on offer

• £25,000 starting salary
• Clear earning progression to £34,000 in year two and £42,000+ in year three
• Structured commercial finance training programme
• Support towards an industry-recognised qualification
• One-to-one mentoring from experienced brokers
• Progression into a fully qualified Commercial Finance Broker role
• Monday-to-Friday working
• 22 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, increasing with service
• Company pension
• On-site parking and gym

This is a full-time, office-based position in Cardiff and would suit someone who is ambitious, commercially minded and looking for a long-term professional career.
