Ortus lines up for recruitment drive

Leisure finance provider Ortus Secured Finance has embarked on a recruitment drive to source new talent.

The lender is searching for another BDM and a professional to lead its marketing operations.

While explaining the sort of character the ideal candidate will hold, Director Jon Salisbury said:  “We are seeking people with an entrepreneurial spirit who are accustomed to working in smaller organisations.  We work as a team and people are expected to stray from their core job remit if this is needed to get things done.

“We like people who set themselves high personal and professional standards and want to learn and improve … as well as giving positive and constructive feedback to colleagues.”

The BDM will be servicing an existing portfolio of introducers through a schedule of calls and meetings as well as sourcing new introducer relationships.

They will also be presenting deals to underwriters and have input in new product design.

The person fitting the Head of Marketing position will lead the production of all marketing materials and drive the department’s strategy.

They will also provide outreach to media contacts in regards to editorial and advertising opportunities.

In regards to advantages for the positions these include a competitive base salary and industry standard commission structure for the BDM.

Jon Salisbury also comments that Ortus operate “a task-driven rather than “face-time” culture.  We encourage employees to adopt work methods which work efficiently for them and enable jobs to get done.  It is important to us that employees are happy and enjoy a healthy work/live balance.”
