Job Description
The role focuses on trade finance and transaction banking and this particular role has strong emphasis on businesses operating between the UK and sub-Saharan Africa.
You’ll run the corporate and mid-market book: winning new clients, growing existing relationships, and structuring lending and trade facilities. You’ll work alongside the trade finance, transaction banking and treasury teams in the bank.
The main corridor is Nigeria-UK, so this role needs someone who already knows that market well. You will likely have:
An existing network of corporate or mid-market clients in Nigeria or wider West Africa
