We’re looking for an ambitious Corporate Banking Director to join a growing Origination team and play a key role in expanding its presence across the Midlands.
This is a genuine front-office origination role for an experienced banker who enjoys being out in the market, building senior relationships and winning new lending opportunities.
You’ll have the freedom to develop your own network, build a strong external profile and take ownership of new business from initial conversation through to completion.
We’re ideally looking for an established Director with a strong Midlands network and proven origination track record, but would also consider an exceptional Associate Director ready to step up.
