Specialist Property Finance Lender
London / UK

KFS Recruitment is working exclusively with an embryonic, specialist property finance lender in the Property Rental Income space.
Are you a dynamic, driven origination leader with a strong network of direct and broker contacts? Do you thrive on being at the forefront of bringing new products to market, shaping strategy, and building a sales engine from the ground up? If so, this opportunity could be the next big step in your career.

The Opportunity
This is a high-impact, leadership-level role for an ambitious Head of Origination to take full accountability for the sales function of a specialist property lender focused on Property Rental Income finance.
You will:
Lead the origination and sales strategy, driving awareness and market penetration for a new lending product
Be the face of the business in the market — confident presenting at networking events, expos, award ceremonies, industry panels, and podcasts
Manage and grow relationships with brokers, introducers, intermediaries, and direct clients
Work closely with credit, product, and senior leadership to align sales and risk strategies
Build and scale a high-performing origination team as the business grows
Contribute to shaping marketing activity across social media and industry channels
Represent the business with key publications and directories (e.g., BNC, Bridging & Commercial, Bridge and Loan Directory)

The Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for someone who:
Has a strong network of direct and broker contacts in specialist property finance
Has senior sales/origination experience with smaller or embryonic lenders — ideally having helped shape and grow a product from launch
Is ambitious, charismatic, and commercial, with a flair for building relationships and hitting targets
Can speak confidently about lending products publicly and elevate brand awareness
Has experience influencing sales and marketing strategy, including digital and industry-wide engagement
Is based in London / Home Counties, with the ability to travel across the UK for client meetings
This is a rare chance to step into a pivotal leadership position, shaping the commercial future of a specialist lender and building a team around you.
