Burnley Victoria, Australia Deryan Financial Group Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

We are a lending advisory team — not processors — focused on structure, clarity and long-term outcomes for clients.

If you want to build real lending capability, work on meaningful client strategies and be part of a high-performance environment, this role is designed for you.

We provide lending solutions across home loans, investment lending, commercial lending, personal loans and asset finance.

Our work is analytical, client-centric and grounded in strategic decision-making — not just pushing applications forward.

About the Role

As a Lending Associate, you'll work alongside senior brokers to analyse client situations, review financials, assess servicing, and workshop lending structures. You'll then prepare and manage applications through to settlement while ensuring a professional and seamless experience for clients.

This role involves more than processing paperwork — you will be actively involved in:

  • Scenario modelling
  • Policy comparison
  • Structuring recommendations
  • Client guidance

You'll learn how to think through lending strategy, not just how to lodge files.

  • Conduct borrowing capacity & servicing analysis across multiple lenders
  • Review financial statements, tax records and income documentation
  • Prepare and lodge applications for:

  • Home & Investment Loans

  • Personal Loans
  • Asset Finance
  • Small Business Lending
  • Manage applications through credit, approval and settlement
  • Research lender policy to determine the strongest structure and fit
  • Maintain CRM accuracy and compliance standards
What You Bring
  • 2+ years experience in mortgage broking, lending support, banking or credit analysis
  • Degree in Finance, Accounting, Commerce, Economics or Business
  • Ability to interpret income documents and financial statements
  • Strong communication and professional presence
  • High attention to detail and structured workflow habits
  • A growth mindset — driven to improve and take on responsibility
Why This Role Accelerates Your Career
  • Clear pathway to Broker with training and mentorship
  • Exposure to intermediate and complex lending strategy
  • Opportunity to build and own your portfolio within the firm
  • High-performance culture with accountability and support
  • Flexibility available once established in the role

If you want to become a high-calibre broker who can structure lending for investors, business owners and strategic borrowers — this is where that capability is developed.
