• Promoting the Banks culture and values.
• Being a positive contributor to Allica’s culture, and always promoting our values of Straightforward, Integrity, Collaborative and Delivery.
• Complying with all mandatory policies, and adherence to operational procedures to maintain internal controls.
• Delivering territory Business Plan and making an active contribution to targeted team lending volumes.
• Establishing and actively managing objectives and a personal development plan.
