You will be proficient in real estate funding with financial and investment modelling capability considered beneficial.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders and Borrowers at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of our strategic priorities, risk appetite and the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a front-line portfolio management team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun, and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

As an experienced real estate banking professional, you’ll understand how to manage and build relationships with colleagues and partners and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
