About Allica Bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to
help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely
neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
Having already achieved significant success in the commercial mortgage and asset finance markets, Allica launched an innovative
new Growth Finance product in 2023. This delivers working capital funding with facility sizes between £1m-£10m and is principally
an asset-based lending product.
Since launch, the product has been well received in the market and the client portfolio has grown quickly. We now plan to expand
regional presence so that we can meet the funding needs of even more growing established, businesses.
We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Senior Transaction Associate to join our team. You will be responsible for
coordinating and overseeing the onboarding of new clients and introducers by proactively working alongside our sales team and
other key stakeholders such as external lawyers and advisories.
This role requires meticulous attention to detail and the ability to work well in a fast-paced environment, prioritising deals
effectively. In addition, you will take ownership of maintaining up to date documentation and reports, adhering to organisational
standards and regulatory requirements.
