Business Development Manager (Field Based)

At Hodge, we aim to do the right thing.  We are a financial services business focused on the retail savings, commercial lending and retirement markets.  The Hodge Foundation, a charity supporting the welfare, medical, academic and educational areas owns 79% of our business. This drives us, knowing that by helping our customers to achieve their goals, we are also supporting good causes that are important to us.

Hodge Lifetime is a division of our business specialising in the retirement solutions market.  Our strategy is focused on retirement mortgages, equity release and pension annuities, having been a specialist in the retirement marketplace for over 50 years.  During that time, we’ve nurtured a great depth of experience and developed a very strong and solid reputation for looking after our customers while being at the forefront of innovation in our core retirement lending markets.

We have achieved significant growth over the last few years and have ambitious plans to expand further, having recently launched into the mainstream mortgage market.  To support these plans, Hodge Lifetime wishes to appoint for the following role to join our Business Development function: 

Business Development Manager (Field Based) – London/South East (M25 corridor)

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the mortgage and/or equity release markets, coupled with outstanding communication and negotiation skills.  You should have relevant financial services qualifications (e.g. CeMAP/CeRER).
