Job description
Corporate banking customers with annual revenue between AED 250MM and AED 1BN are the target market for this Director at Mashreq. New to bank borrowing relationships across Large Corporates and the Middle Market are the priority, sourced through key contacts, business introducers and a disciplined marketing process. Once a prospect engages, you size the client's wallet and structure solutions for optimum Return on Risk Capital across business and credit cycles. The credit process is yours from proposal preparation through approvals, documentation and onboarding. Payment & Cash management, Trade products, Private Banking and SME teams are natural partners for cross-selling. Middle Market proposition work also features, including competition analysis, service delivery models, campaigns, referral models and strategic partnerships. Targets cover new-to-bank clients, profitability, deposits, income and cross-sell, all within credit, operational, financial crime and regulatory risk frameworks. Quarterly and annual strategy and management reporting go to the Business Manager. Candidates bring at least 8 years of banking experience in business development, credit and relationship management, including 2 years in a similar UAE role, along with sound credit analysis skills.
