Your role
We are expanding our Corporate Banking footprint and looking for a Relationship Manager who can help us grow the Dutch corporate client portfolio significantly over the coming years. This role exists because our book is growing and new EU regulations require that certain activities are performed from Amsterdam rather than London, making this position an essential part of our future strategy.
As a Relationship Manager, you will be the primary point of contact for a broad range of corporate clients. You build long-term relationships, identify opportunities, and bring in new business. We’re looking for someone who is confident in front of clients, has a strong network, and enjoys opening doors, but who is not yet at an overly senior or specialised level. The ideal candidate has cross-sector corporate banking experience, rather than focusing on a single industry.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to grow with us, work closely with our UK colleagues, and help us strengthen and expand our presence in the German and Dutch Corporate market.
Which team will you be joining?
You’ll join a close-knit Corporate Banking team of around eight colleagues, including a Relationship Manager (you), a KYC and Financial Crime Risk Manager and a Credit Analyst you work with daily. Short lines, shared ownership and strong collaboration are key to how we work.
