We’re looking for a Business Finance Advisor.
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious candidate to join our business development team. This is an entrepreneurial role, where you’ll manage and strategise your individual pipeline to find and finance SMEs in the UK - the backbone of our economy. You'll have the opportunity to earn uncapped commission, with a realistic OTE of £75k and the potential to earn £100k+ for top performers.
We’re growing the team significantly, and we’re after exceptional candidates who are motivated, smart, humble and coachable. We’ll primarily assess this, not your experience.
About us
Fast, flexible finance empowers small businesses to manage their cash flow better and seize opportunities - making their business and the economy stronger as a whole. At iwoca, we do just that. We help businesses get the funds they need, when they need it, often within minutes.
We’ve already made several billion in funding available to over 100,000 businesses since we launched in 2012, and positioned ourselves as a prospecting Fintech in Europe. Our mission is to finance one million businesses. We’ll get there by continuing to make our finance ever more relevant and accessible to more businesses by combining cutting-edge technology, data science and a 5-star customer service.
Your mission
As a Business Finance Advisor, you’ll build a high quality pipeline of prospects and generate revenue by making outbound calls, booking meetings, following up with customers, advising on their best finance options from our suite of products, and much more.
Each interaction with a potential new customer is unique, and requires focus as well as solo thinking. How you manage your pipeline will make a significant difference in hitting your KPIs. If you are successful, the opportunity to develop in our growing team is unbounded.
Key responsibilities include:
* Building and nurturing a high quality prospect pipeline by making regular outbound calls, and occasionally dealing with inbound queries, at all times representing the company in a highly professional manner.
* Listening, understanding and advising which of our finance options can help solve your prospect’s challenges.
* Identifying and qualifying prospects alongside the ones we have identified and initially qualified for you.
* Communicating the iwoca value proposition in a precise and compelling way to help SMEs understand and make use of our loan products.
* Going above and beyond in your efforts to hit and exceed your KPIs; this will enable us to beat growth targets.
* Working as a team player, and helping improve the overall success of this exciting part of the business.
Requirements
* Confident making cold outbound calls, and thrive off speaking and connecting with business owners.
* Highly motivated, and excited by the challenge of exceeding targets.
* Able to take on, and provide, quality feedback to power your own growth, as well as that of your teammates.
* Organised and able to manage a large pipeline of prospects, with deals at various stages of progress.
* Able to simplify and explain complex products in a way that customers with little experience in commercial financing can easily understand.
* Resilient. You’ll take setbacks in your stride, and see value in the lessons setbacks give you.
* Empathetic. You need to understand and sympathise with the problems our customers face. You thrive off helping people.
