An established specialist lending business is looking to appoint a Securities Officer to play a key role in managing its loan security process, ensuring transactions progress efficiently from offer through to completion and all subsequent legal requirements are fulfilled.

Offering the flexibility of hybrid working in Cornwall or fully remote working, this is an excellent opportunity for an organised, detail-focused professional with experience in lending operations, loan security, legal completions or a related financial services environment.

The Opportunity

The business provides property-backed finance to businesses and investors, operating within a specialist lending market where efficient processes, strong relationships and attention to detail are essential.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the security process across a portfolio of lending transactions, working closely with borrowers, brokers, panel solicitors and internal teams to ensure loans complete accurately and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage the loan security process: Prepare offer letters and security instructions, coordinate legal documentation and ensure all requirements are progressed within agreed timescales.

  • Coordinate stakeholders: Liaise with borrowers, brokers, panel solicitors, Relationship Managers and Credit colleagues to maintain momentum and resolve queries.

  • Drive timely completions: Monitor individual cases, chase outstanding information, identify potential delays and take proactive steps to keep transactions on track.

  • Oversee completion checks: Review legal documentation, identify discrepancies, complete checklists and ensure the necessary approvals are in place before completion.

  • Manage post-completion requirements: Track security registration at the Land Registry and Companies House, maintain accurate records and ensure outstanding actions are completed.

  • Maintain robust administration: Keep internal systems and files up to date, coordinate relevant payment arrangements and hand over outstanding conditions and information to the appropriate teams.

  • Support compliance and continuous improvement: Ensure regulatory and data protection requirements are followed while identifying opportunities to improve operational processes.

About the Successful Candidate

The ideal candidate will be proactive, methodical and comfortable taking responsibility for multiple transactions at different stages of the lending process.

They will demonstrate:

  • Excellent organisational skills and a high level of attention to detail.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to liaise with a variety of stakeholders.

  • The ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines and follow through on outstanding actions.

  • Good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel, alongside confidence using business systems.

  • A customer-focused approach, supported by commercial and financial awareness.

  • The initiative to identify potential issues, resolve problems and contribute to more efficient ways of working.

Experience in loan security, property-backed lending, loan completions, legal administration or lending operations would be particularly valuable.

What’s on Offer?

  • A full-time opportunity within an established specialist lending business.

  • Flexible working arrangements: hybrid in Cornwall or fully remote.

  • A varied role with responsibility for an important stage of the lending lifecycle.

  • The opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners across a growing specialist finance operation.
