THE ROLE
In this role, you will join part of the Bank’s new place-based (Local Growth) team, within a defined region/Devolved Nation.

This includes identifying, catalysing, and facilitating commercial opportunities such as connecting finance providers with clusters of high-potential businesses to drive measurable growth in local financing and business activity.
