Overview

We are looking for someone to join our Bridging Transactions Legal Team (BTLT) to provide advice and support on our bridging finance product. The BTLT has been created to ensure that we deliver on our strategic objectives for the bridging finance product by delivering a robust operating model and enabling a highly competitive product.

This is a fast‑paced team and requires someone who is comfortable being proactive and working to tight deadlines whilst ensuring that legal risk is managed properly across the business and the transactions we enter into.

• Assist with the co‑ordination and management of the due diligence process on all bridging finance deals underwritten by Ultimate.
• Assist with the approval and, if required, the preparation of documents relating to bridging loan facilities including facility and security documents.
• Prepare documents including conveyance instructions, tranche letters and correspondence letters enclosing various documentation.
• Liaise with Underwriting to satisfy pre‑conditions as part of bridging transactions.
• Liaise with various teams across the business, including the relevant Regional Director, Underwriting and Operations, and elevate any legal issues arising out of a transaction to the BTLT Manager.

You will have previously worked in an office environment and are maybe working in a similar role at another lender or financial services business. Either way, while experience of bridging finance would be helpful, the most important thing is a willingness to learn and get involved with everything that goes on. Curiosity about what we do and how we do it is vital, and a key part of our learning process.

Whilst we have processes in place to help you, you will be comfortable with being proactive and using your initiative to solve issues and challenges as and when they arise.

• Attention to detail – this role focuses on documents and processes to ensure that legal risk is managed properly across the business and the transactions we enter into. A keen eye for detail is essential.
• Ownership – If something doesn’t look right or you think something has been missed, you are expected to speak up and help work with others to solve the problem.
• Resilience – The ability to stay calm under pressure while prioritising work requests.
• Communication – Excellent communication skills, able to present information clearly and concisely.

Ideally you would be based in Bristol, or able to get to our Bristol office twice a week.

This is a great opportunity to learn new things, whilst becoming an expert in what you do.

• A highly visible role within the business where you will collaborate with teams from different areas to help deliver the funding our bridging customers need.
• Learn about every aspect of our bridging finance product as well as being part of the wider Legal and Compliance team.
• Opportunity to develop a wide range of skills in a dynamic environment.
• Involvement in business wide initiatives such as CSR Give a Day or Mental Health and Wellbeing initiatives.
