When Sarah took her first role as a junior administrator at a leasing company, she never imagined where her career would take her. Within a few years, she had moved into underwriting, helping businesses secure the equipment they needed to grow. Later, she transitioned into a project finance role, supporting the rollout of a new Asset Finance platform for a global bank. Today, Sarah leads a team of analysts, managing change and delivering digital programmes across the financial services industry.
Her journey is a perfect example of how diverse and rewarding Asset Finance jobs can be. From sales to technology, operations to leadership, this is a sector that offers multiple career paths, strong benefits, and plenty of opportunity to develop new skills.
Why Asset Finance is a Career Worth Considering
Asset Finance underpins growth across the economy. It allows businesses to access vehicles, machinery, and technology without large upfront costs. Instead, they spread payments through models such as hire purchase, finance lease, and contract hire. For professionals, that means working in a sector that supports industries as varied as agriculture, transport, healthcare, and manufacturing.
At Resilient, we see the impact of this every day. Each successful placement connects skilled candidates with organisations that are driving investment, funding growth, and transforming customer experiences. Every finance job we fill moves the industry forward.
The Range of Asset Finance Jobs We See Every Day
Because of our niche focus, we see the full breadth of finance asset roles across the industry. Some of the most common include:
-
Sales and business development – for those who thrive on winning new clients and building broker relationships.

Whether you are exploring your first role in equipment finance or looking to step into leadership within banking, the opportunities are there.
The Technology Shift
In the past, Asset Finance was heavily paper-based, with manual processes slowing down delivery. Today, digitalisation is transforming the industry. SaaS platforms from providers such as Alfa, Solifi, and Odessa have changed the way lenders and lessors operate.
This has created demand for professionals who can combine finance knowledge with project delivery expertise. Employers are looking for candidates who understand both systems and customer needs, creating new opportunities in areas like project finance, business analysis, and systems integration.
