Job Title: Associate - Manufacturing & Industrials

Location: Leeds or Birmingham

Hours: Full time

Working Pattern: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least three days per week, or 60% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

What you’ll be doing:

Join our Corporate & Institutional Coverage team and play an important role in supporting and growing client relationships across the Manufacturing & Industrials sector. This dynamic global sector is closely aligned to the UK Government Industrial Strategy, offering the opportunity to work with businesses at the heart of the UK's economic growth. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you'll build trusted client relationships, identify opportunities to meet customer needs and help deliver sustainable business growth.

You'll support a portfolio of corporate clients, using research, market insights and financial analysis to understand their strategic priorities, identify emerging trends and help develop solutions that align with both client objectives and the Group's credit and profitability requirements. Working collaboratively with product specialists and relationship teams across the bank, you'll contribute to delivering excellent client outcomes while maintaining a strong focus on risk, governance and regulatory standards.

You'll embrace new technologies and ways of working that enhance both the client and colleague experience, while contributing to wider team objectives through effective planning, strong stakeholder collaboration and a commitment to continuous learning and development. As your experience grows, you'll have opportunities to share knowledge, support colleagues and contribute to a high-performing team culture

Why join us?

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group an excellent place for everyone. Including you.

What we’re looking for?

• At least 2 years' experience supporting client relationships within corporate banking.
• Experience developing trusted client relationships, identifying customer needs and supporting the delivery of appropriate banking solutions.
• Strong analytical and financial assessment skills, with the ability to interpret business information, identify trends and support the development of client solutions.
• Experience using customer relationship management (CRM), client management or banking platforms to support client servicing and portfolio management.
• Good understanding of risk management, governance and regulatory requirements, capable of operating within established credit and control frameworks.
• Strong communication and management capabilities, enabling you to establish credible relationships with clients and internal partners while balancing multiple priorities effectively

And any experience of these would be great:

• Knowledge of the Manufacturing & Industrials sector
• Experience preparing client presentations, financial analysis or relationship reviews to support business development activities.

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this advert may reference specific experience, we recognise that skills are developed in different ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities, and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer Initiative.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.

We provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to reduce or remove barriers. Just let us know what you need.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 28 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies

Ready for a career where you can have a positive impact as you learn, grow and thrive? Apply today and find out more.
