Commercial Director - UK Lenders
Posted 1 day 6 hours ago by Antler
Mast is solving one of the most important problems in lending: Speed. Our mission is to make lending better, smoother and faster for everyone. We do that by empowering mortgage lenders and leveraging technology to enable them to focus on what they do best - lending.
Mast is building cloud-native mortgage technology infrastructure to help lenders process more mortgage applications in less time. We want to help lenders get to a mortgage decision faster and more efficiently, transforming the buying journey for the borrower.
We're backed by top-tier investors and run by a team with deep fintech, product, and enterprise delivery experience. We're already live with regulated enterprise clients, and we've found strong product-market fit in a market that's overdue for change.
Now we're hiring our first commercial leader to help us scale.
Why Join MastYou'll help transform how lenders operate, not by layering more tech, but by replacing the core. You'll sell software that's genuinely mission-critical, to clients who are crying out for change. You'll work directly with founders, move fast, and get stuff done. If you've sold into banks and want more ownership, this is your role.
The RoleThis is not your typical Commercial Director role. You're not stepping into a machine, you're helping build it.
You'll lead sales from top to bottom:
- Define our go-to-market motion
- Build and convert pipeline
- Close multi-year SaaS contracts with regulated lenders
- Shape pricing, messaging, and ICP strategy
- Feed insights into product and commercial decisions
You'll be the face of Mast to new clients, and lay the foundation for our future sales function.
