We want to help small business win. That’s why we’re here.

So, we created the leading online marketplace for small business loans. Our investors have lent $13.1 billion in 130,000 loans to 90,000 small business owners. In a single year, we unlocked 115,000 jobs and contributed £6.5 billion to the global economy. There’s never been a better time to join! 

Be part of the team that changes everything. Let’s build the place where small businesses can get the funding they need to win and leave a legacy behind, forever.

This role sits within what we call the “Funnel” team. They are the face of Funding Circle and work passionately to make sure small businesses have an incredible experience in getting the funding they need.

Each member of this team is passionate about small businesses, entrepreneurship, and building a better financial world.  This is a sales position that carries the responsibility of handling inquiries from small business borrowers through multiple sales channels. You will be interacting with hundreds of small business owners on a weekly basis, speaking to them about their business operations, why they need financing, and how a Funding Circle loan can help them achieve their goals.

• Collaborate: Work closely with our Credit Team to understand the intricacies of each application and the ultimate decision that you will need to effectively communicate back to the small business owner and close the loan. Your monthly quota will center around total dollars originated each month.
