Job Description
Team Corporate

County Glamorgan
Ref # 24708
Closing Date 09-May-2026
Location: Covering either Cardiff or Bristol based on your network
At Metro Bank, we believe the best banking experience starts with people who genuinely care. We’re not just delivering banking services - we’re building trust through authentic connections. Here, our people come first; our colleagues are part of a team that values individuality, collaboration, and long-standing relationships. We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.
What you will do:
This is a rare opportunity to play a defining role in shaping Metro Bank’s Corporate Banking franchise at a regional level. You will represent everything we stand for: commercially minded, relationship‑driven banking with pace, clarity and a genuine focus on the customer.
Grow and lead a portfolio of Corporate Banking clients and act as Metro Bank’s external face to the market, building strong, influential relationships with corporates, intermediaries, professional advisors and key regional stakeholders.
Originate, structure and deliver complex corporate debt solutions, including bespoke facilities of £5m+, working in close partnership with our Invoice Finance, Asset Finance and Asset Based Lending specialists.
Bring a “One Team” mindset - building deep internal relationships across Credit, Risk, Product and Operations to deliver exceptional, joined‑up outcomes for customers.
Lead the structuring of debt-led propositions, ensuring they meet Metro Bank’s risk appetite, pricing discipline and regulatory standards - without losing sight of commercial reality.
Inspire, coach and role‑model high standards of performance, behaviour and ownership across the team and wider bank.
And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the ability to call out any concerns.
What you will need:
A highly credible corporate banker with outstanding relationship management skills and experience supporting businesses with complex funding requirements.
A demonstrable track record of originating and growing profitable corporate portfolios, with strong market influence and a collaborative leadership style.
Deep experience of structuring mid‑corporate debt solutions, underpinned by excellent credit writing, financial analysis and commercial judgement.
Confidence and gravitas to engage, influence and negotiate effectively with senior executives, advisors and internal stakeholders.
Strong regional networks, including established relationships with Corporate Finance and Debt Advisors
Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
Our promise to you…
We believe in “one in, one up” at Metro Bank, growing our own and promoting from within. That is why we are looking for YOU! An AMAZEING colleague to move into this FANtastic new role!
We will make sure that you are well-rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts!
We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!
Important Footnote
Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
