A leading financial services organisation is continuing to grow its Corporate & Commercial Banking division in a deliberate, responsible and customer-focused way.

We're seeking an experienced Senior Relationship Director – Corporate Banking & Structured Finance to join a high-performing team focused on building long-term client relationships, delivering tailored lending solutions and supporting sustainable business growth.

This is an opportunity to play a significant role in a growing franchise where relationship quality, sound judgement and responsible banking matter.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Relationship Director – Corporate Banking & Structured Finance, you'll originate, structure and manage a portfolio of corporate clients, including complex bilateral, club and syndicated lending transactions.

Working closely with Risk, Legal, Product and senior stakeholders, you'll deliver lending solutions that support clients' strategic ambitions while maintaining strong risk discipline.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and develop relationships with mid-market and large corporate clients
  • Structure, negotiate and execute complex lending facilities, typically in excess of £15m
  • Manage transactions from initial opportunity through to completion and ongoing portfolio management
  • Assess creditworthiness and present recommendations to senior decision-makers
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with advisors, introducers and professional networks
  • Identify new business opportunities and contribute to portfolio growth
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to achieve balanced customer, risk and commercial outcomes
  • Act as a trusted ambassador for the organisation across the corporate banking market

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.
