Relationship Director – Commercial Banking (Midlands)
I’m working on a brand new mandate for a well-established UK commercial bank with a strong balance sheet and an excellent reputation across the UK commercial banking market.
The bank is part-way through a 5-year strategic growth plan to double the size of its lending book, underpinned by a genuine appetite to lend and a pragmatic, relationship-led credit approach.
This is a Midlands–focused Relationship Director role, designed for a commercial banker who is well connected across the local professional and intermediary community.
The opportunity:
* Relationship Director – Commercial Banking
* Midlands coverage
* High-quality portfolio of existing clients and connections
* Significant time, autonomy and internal resource available to support business development
* Clear mandate to originate and structure new lending
* Transaction appetite up to £5m, enabling support for sizeable trading businesses
* Equally nimble for lower-value, relationship-led transactions
* Strong appetite for lending into a variety of businesses
Ideal background:
* Established relationships with accountants, corporate finance advisers, solicitors and commercial intermediaries
* Strong local market knowledge across the West Midlands
* Track record of originating quality commercial lending through professional networks
* Comfortable operating at RD level with autonomy and accountability
This role is ideal for a well-connected commercial banker who wants to leverage local relationships, professional introducers and a bank that actively wants to lend to grow a meaningful regional book.
