* Build, manage and expand relationships with banks, non-banks, family offices and wholesale funders
* Assist with capital raises and Information Memorandums where required
* Provide guidance and on-the-job support to junior team members
What Success Looks Like

* Strong lender and client relationships
* Achievement of fee targets (portfolio impact ~$2.5m p.a.)
* Delighted clients who return and refer
