Full Job Description
We are looking for a dynamic, entrepreneurial self-starter to join our group and help us build a new startup, currently in stealth.
You will work closely with our team to help launch and scale the business; and will be responsible for executing on the plan and eventually, the day-to-day operations. Our ambition is to build a leading business in its sector and for you to play a key role in helping us get there.

- Over time, develop best in class internal practices across the business, from loan sales and origination, through to underwriting, processing and servicing
