Join Allica Bank as Our New Business Relationship Manager - Squad Lead!
At Allica Bank, we pride ourselves on being the UK’s fastest-growing company and the leading financial technology (Fintech) firm. Our mission is to empower established SMEs, a crucial yet underserved segment within the Fintech landscape.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local economies, contributing over a third of our GDP. Unfortunately, they have often been overlooked by both traditional high street banks and contemporary fintech providers.
Department Overview
Our goal is to revolutionize Relationship Banking for established SMEs by leveraging the best talent, products, and digital tools. We acknowledge that we're on a journey of discovery, and you will be instrumental in shaping our offerings.
Since its inception in 2022, our Relationship Manager team has been expanding rapidly in line with the Bank's growth. A key part of our strategy is to ensure every customer who opens an account is assigned a dedicated Relationship Manager, delivering exceptional service.
Beyond providing excellent service, our Relationship Managers cultivate profound understanding and trust with their customers, delving into their ambitions, goals, and motivations. They facilitate access to a range of Allica Bank products, including Business Current Accounts, Savings Accounts, Commercial Loans, Asset Finance, and Working Capital Facilities.
Role Overview
As a Relationship Manager at Allica Bank, you will play a pivotal role in new business acquisition as we continue to expand. Portfolios are strategically built to optimize this capability. You will establish and nurture a strong network of trusted SME advisors, including accountants, solicitors, and business organizations (note: commercial finance brokers are supported by our dedicated broker team). We expect our Relationship Managers to be esteemed partners and experts in business finance within their communities.
This role is both hands-on and leadership-focused, emphasizing Growth & Business Development aligned with set objectives within your area, while also leading and developing a team of Growth-Focused Relationship Managers. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in business development within financial services and experience in leading high-performance teams. This position offers an incredible opportunity for the right individual to shape their portfolio from the ground up and inspire a team to do the same.
