As a Vice President or Executive Director within the Global Corporate Bank (GCB)
You will play a pivotal role in originating, building, and scaling long-term relationships with some of the UK’s most ambitious VC-backed technology companies. You will cover businesses headquartered in London and across key innovation hubs including Manchester, Oxford, and Cambridge.
Your focus will be on driving sustainable growth across the full client lifecycle—from initial engagement through scale and maturity—by delivering the breadth of J.P. Morgan’s capabilities. You will proactively anticipate client needs, partnering with founders and CFOs as they navigate critical inflection points, while maximizing value and revenue for the firm over time.
This position is based in our London office.
Role & Responsibilities

- Build and represent the J.P. Morgan Technology Banking franchise in your market, positioning the firm as the leading Innovation Economy bank serving the most compelling and diverse founders and businesses
- Originate and develop new client relationships while deepening existing ones, delivering the full capabilities of the firm and leading internal dialogue across credit, payments, and broader strategic solutions
- Maintain an active and relentless focus on identifying the next generation of high-quality, diverse founders, leveraging a strong referral network built through ecosystem engagement, venture relationships, and market presence
- Act as a trusted partner across J.P. Morgan, collaborating closely with Investment Banking, Large and Mid-Cap Corporate Banking, Payments, Markets, Private Bank, Risk, and Industry Coverage teams to deliver coordinated client outcomes
- Demonstrate genuine passion for innovation, entrepreneurship, and the start-up ecosystem, staying close to industry trends and emerging technologies to identify opportunities for client growth, innovation, and strategic partnership
- This position will also support JPMorganChase’s Security and Resiliency Initiative (SRI). You will engage the UK innovation ecosystem—connecting founders, investors, governments, and other stakeholders—where innovation intersects with defence, security, and resilience priorities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
