If you’re currently in a major bank or large institutional lender and feeling boxed in by process, hierarchy, or limited influence - this role offers a chance to step into a more agile, commercially driven environment where good ideas move quickly and performance is recognised.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created role, reporting directly to a senior leader, where you’ll play a hands-on role in assessing and structuring commercial lending transactions. You’ll have real exposure to complex deals, close interaction with decision-makers, and the opportunity to help shape how commercial credit is done as the portfolio grows.
This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, wants to broaden their commercial judgement, and values working in a business where culture actually matters.

- Liaising with brokers, customers, accountants, solicitors, and valuers to progress transactions
- Representing the business professionally across a range of client and broker interactions
- 2+ years’ experience in commercial lending or commercial credit assessment
- Strong understanding of commercial lending products, business structures, and risk frameworks
- Confidence analysing complex financial and tax information
- Exposure to non-conforming or outside-the-box lending scenarios
- Clear written communication skills - you can explain risk and structure without hiding behind jargon
- A proactive mindset - you take ownership rather than waiting for instruction
- Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Commerce, Business, or similar (highly regarded)
- Direct exposure to senior decision-makers - no layers of bureaucracy
- A genuine chance to influence and grow with a scaling commercial portfolio
- A culture that values accountability, collaboration, and development
