We're delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a new specialist bridging finance lender, set to launch in early 2026. With one of the most respected figures in the specialist lending sector at the helm, this is a rare opportunity to join a highly credible business at its inception.

As Senior Underwriter, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the credit and lending journey. The credit papers and lending criteria are already in motion - your focus will be on autonomously underwriting all incoming cases and ensuring each deal is structured soundly and swiftly.

Key Responsibilities:

• Underwrite bridging and mezzanine finance cases end-to-end
• Assess the strength of deals and issue indicative terms
• Liaise with brokers, lawyers and other stakeholders to gather accurate information
• Manage a small pipeline of live cases, typically ranging from £500,000 to £3.5 million
• Ensure decisions align with the company's credit appetite and due diligence standards

About the Company:

This is a family office-backed debt fund, lending from its own capital with an annual appetite of around £20 million for bridging finance. The focus will be on non-bank, structured finance-style property lending, requiring creative and commercial thinking to make deals work.

Ideal Candidate:

• Minimum 3 years' experience in bridging finance underwriting
• Background in a boutique or early-stage lender
• Strong structuring ability with a commercial, solutions-driven mindset
• Highly numerate, detail-oriented, and confident working autonomously
• Graduate-level education preferred
• A mature, professional approach with excellent communication skills

Why Apply?

• 100% remote - work from anywhere in the UK
• Flexible hours to fit around personal commitments (ideal for school runs or lifestyle balance)
• Opportunity to work closely with a respected industry leader
• Exciting chance to be part of a start-up lender at the ground level

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced bridging underwriter who enjoys autonomy, flexibility, and being part of something new.
