We Need You to Have

  • A background in a Business Banking team.
  • A proven track record in originating and securing commercial lending opportunities.
  • Experience managing all aspects of a deal process from inception to completion – including detailed credit papers, negotiations with management teams, advisors and funding partners, review of due‑diligence reports, oversight of complex legal processes and the completion process.
  • Strong capability in building media relationships and generating opportunities, including writing for journals and preparing publications.
  • A business degree or significant financial services experience within a Business Lending environment.
  • Detailed and up‑to‑date knowledge of UK financial markets with a focus on the Commercial Banking segment.
  • Expert knowledge of banking products and services.
  • Up‑to‑date knowledge of financial analysis and modelling tools and techniques.

  • 25 days holiday per year, increasing over time to 30, with the option to buy more.
  • Private medical insurance.
  • Highly competitive pension.
  • Annual performance‑related bonus.
  • Training and development to progress your career.
