THE ROLE
Step into a senior leadership role within the Bank’s new Local Growth team, taking responsibility for place-based activity in one of the UK’s most economically complex and politically visible regions.

Define and drive a tailored local strategy that identifies opportunities, catalyses commercial activity and strengthens the regional finance ecosystem.

The aim is clear: deliver measurable increases in local business finance, and economic outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also support the MD in aligning local strategies into a coherent national approach, contributing to senior leadership across the Local Growth team and ensuring strong integration with the wider Bank.
Success in this role draws on substantial commercial experience across equity and/or debt, including hands-on dealmaking and work with complex financial products. Candidates bring a strong record of strategic engagement with senior external stakeholders, influencing outcomes and delivering targeted results. Internal leadership experience is equally important, with evidence of building trust, commercial credibility and effective collaboration. Deep strategic thinking, sound judgement and the ability to design and execute sophisticated strategies in complex environments are essential.
