About Us ?

Bridgit is a leading non-bank lender transforming the way Australians access property equity. Purpose-built to make property transactions faster and easier, we pioneered the Buy Now, Sell Later solution - empowering homeowners to unlock their property equity and move on their terms. With a simple digital application, fast approvals, and flexible loan options, we're making property finance seamless and stress-free.

We're now five years old and making huge strides. We've accredited over three-quarters of Australia's broker network, and launched white label solutions with Australia's largest aggregators - Connective, Aussie Home Loans, Finsure, and Loan Market Group - and we're just getting started.

Our momentum has been recognised with awards including Best Growth Story at the 2025 Fintech Awards, the 2025 Finder People's Choice Award for Lending Innovation, Deloitte's Tech Quick 50 2025, and a place among LinkedIn's Top 20 Startups in Australia 2025 & 2026.

The Difference You'll Make

Settlement is the moment a customer finally gets their loan, and the moment our brokers decide whether to send us their next deal. You'll lead the team that makes that moment happen on time, every time.

You'll own each loan from formal approval through settlement and on to discharge.

We move fast: discharge can follow settlement by as little as a week. That means a team that clears conditions and books settlements, a pipeline that Distribution and Finance can rely on each month, and controls that stand up to audit. You'll also work closely with your manager to find and fix what slows us down, from handoffs with Credit to how we use our loan origination system.

What You'll Do

Run a settlements pipeline people can rely on

- Own every loan end to end, from formal approval through funding, settlement and discharge.
- Allocate work and set daily priorities so the team hits monthly volumes without last-minute scrambles.
- Make sure conditions are cleared, loan and security documents are correct, and settlement is booked with solicitors, conveyancers and other lenders.
- Manage discharges when loans repay, often within a week of settlement, including payout figures,



discharge documents and release of security.
- Sign off funding and disbursements, reconcile settlement and discharge funds, and check mortgages and titles are registered post-settlement.
- Be the escalation point for failed or delayed settlements and discharges, disputes and exceptions, and resolve them fast.

Lead and grow the team

- Coach a team of Settlement Officers to work accurately and own their files.
- Set clear expectations, run regular one-on-ones and performance reviews, and deal with underperformance early.
