Context:
The Innovate UK Loans Portfolio Management team is responsible for the ongoing credit and operational oversight of the IUK loan book. The portfolio is made up of highly innovative, growth-oriented businesses at the cutting edge of new technologies in the UK.
We particularly welcome female applicants as women are under-represented within Innovate UK in this type of role.
Job Purpose:
The role will require a highly proactive and partnership approach with both internal and external stakeholders to protect the existing exposures. A key aspect of the role is to grow and develop relationships with existing customers while successfully on-boarding new customers into the portfolio.
Given the early-stage nature of companies in the portfolio there is a significantly higher risk profile than that of a commercial lender. As a result, there is an expectation that a number of customers will default on their loan obligations and the appropriate recoveries process will need to be managed by the Relationship Manager.
You will benefit from the support of Portfolio Analysts to support day-to-day activities, and as a Relationship Manager, you will be expected to help develop the Analysts within the team to foster a culture in which opportunities for continual improvement and innovation are welcomed.
