Director of Finance

OVERVIEW

At DF Capital, we champion banking for ambition. As an award-winning provider of consumer finance, commercial finance and savings, we empower our customers with financial solutions tailored to fuel their growth and ambitions. Headquartered in Manchester, our team of over 130, serves thousands of customers across the UK

We’re passionate about helping our customers succeed. As we expand our retail and commercial lending products, we remain committed to meeting their evolving needs and supporting their ambitions every step of the way.

Founded in 2016, DF Capital was born with a focus on distribution finance - providing dealers, distributors, and manufacturers with the funding they need to stock, display, and sell products, without straining cash flow.

Since then, we’ve delivered over £3.5bn of funding across diverse sectors. From motorhomes and machinery to motorbikes and lodges, we’ve financed all shapes and sizes of commercial vehicles and automobiles (no planes or trains - yet). We listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange in 2019.

In 2020, we became a fully authorised bank, extending our offering with savings products for retail depositors. We’re proud of our strong customer service, consistently achieving high satisfaction scores - like our current average rating of 4.8/5 from 1,200+ reviews, which also earned us a Platinum Trusted Service Award.

In March 2025 we were given permission to lend to consumers and we wrote our consumer business in May 2025. So, the deposits we’re entrusted with fuel UK businesses through our commercial lending, and UK consumers through our asset finance products creating a virtuous cycle of growth.

Our goal is simple: to be the best bank - for our customers and each other. We put customer needs first, continuously looking to improve our proposition on their feedback. We aim to help more customers in more ways while continuing to deliver exceptional service.

How do we achieve this? By hiring people who care deeply about doing the right thing, we’ve been recognised as "World Class to Work For" by Best Companies, and we're proud of our inclusive, sustainable, and progressive workplace.

We are entering another exciting chapter of the DF Capital story, as we look to turbo-charge our ambitions and significantly scale the business. If you're passionate about providing great customer experiences, developing great propositions and want to be part of building a winning and positive sales culture, then we want to hear from you.

DF Capital is a very special place to work. We have an amazing team who commit themselves each and every day to bring our ambitious growth plans to life. We’ve achieved much on our journey so far, but I believe we have our best days ahead of us.

We’ve established a unique culture that is built on a virtuous circle where engaged and empowered employees who are powered by a shared purpose deliver great outcomes for our customers, our communities, the environment and ultimately our shareholders. This is why we are rated a world class place to work and are amongst the best companies to work for in the UK.
