You will also be responsible for your own personal development and are expected to be agile and work with digital technology to improve your own personal effectiveness.
** Your responsibilities will include:
*** Develop a high-quality portfolio—broadening income, balance sheet, and client relationships—while making sound, risk-aware decisions across lending and contingent liabilities.
* Own and deepen senior relationships with developers, investors, and owner-managers; be the trusted point of contact who understands their ambitions and delivers against them.
* Build customized strategies and solutions by identifying client needs early. Lead lending assessments and collaborate closely with product, coverage, and pooled Client Relationship Team support to achieve the right outcomes.
* Be present when it counts—take charge of intricate or specialized lending requirements beyond the Client Relationship Team's scope, ensuring clients remain supported and updated.
* Champion standards and opportunity—maintain asset quality, policy, and regulatory compliance while building your local market presence, crafting new business with Business Development, Product Partners, and key influencers.
* Work smarter, together—role-model client-first behaviours, use LBG’s digital tools with confidence, and simplify processes that improve experience and efficiency.

* A track record of balanced growth—meeting portfolio and income goals while managing risk, conduct, and regulatory obligations.
* Confidence engaging senior collaborators and building profile in the local market; you’re credible with introducers,…
