Business Development Advisor

If you’re excellent at building relationships and have the ability to provide outstanding service, then this could be the role for you!

We are looking for two Business Development Advisors to join our Distribution team at Marsden Building Society. Reporting to the Product Manager, the Business Development Advisors will be proactive at promoting the Marsden brand with new and existing brokers.

Managing and developing business relationships with our partners, the successful candidates will promote our products to our brokers and contribute to the growth of the Society’s intermediary base by demonstrating exceptional relationship building skills and commercial acumen.

With a passion for excellent customer service, the successful candidates will be comfortable building relationships with internal stakeholders liaising with Lending Services to ensure swift resolutions for our partners and prospective partners.

It isn’t essential that the successful candidate comes from a Financial Services background, although this would be desirable. Relationship building skills, commercial acumen, customer service skills and sales skills are more important for this role. We can provide training in relation to our products, market trends and competitor propositions. We are looking for candidates who are versatile, providing outstanding service and support both over the phone and in person, where required. 

We are a smaller organisation, and as such, all of our colleagues all have the ability to enjoy breadth within their role, as well as utilising and developing their specialist skills. These Business Development Advisor positions are ideal opportunities for individuals who have sales and relationship building experience, to develop and grow their career within Financial Services.  

So what’s in it for you as ourBusiness Development Advisor?

Rated outstanding for employee engagement (Best Companies 2023), we are a progressive organisation that values individuality and diversity. We are signed up to the Women in Finance Charter and are proud to have a 55% female Senior Management Team. We are an accredited Living Wage Employer and operate with purpose. In 2022 we set up our Charitable Foundation, and we are always looking for ways in which we can better support our communities.

While this role is being advertised on a full-time basis (working 5 days/35 hours per week), we acknowledge that people have different commitments, and would be happy to consider applicants on a part-time or job-share basis. Similarly, while the successful Business Development Advisors will need to attend our Head Office in Nelson for 30% of their working week, we have embraced hybrid working and aren’t restricted by geography. Hiring the right person who shares our values and demonstrates the key skills required for this role is far more important to us than rigid working patterns and where someone chooses to live.

In addition to the competitive salary on offer, we also provide an attractive suite of benefits including a generous annual leave entitlement, contributory pension scheme (with 10% employer contribution), life assurance, simply health cover, and discounted memberships.
