• Experience working with public sector, financial institution or large corporate clients in a banking or financial services environment.
• A broad understanding of transaction banking, funding and capital markets, and how these solutions come together for clients.
• The ability to originate and execute complex client solutions, balancing growth, risk and long‑term relationships.
• Confidence representing an organisation at a senior level and building trusted networks across government and institutional stakeholders.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with a disciplined approach to credit and non‑financial risk.
