Local Director

We have been awarded the “Most Loved Workplace”! At Metro Bank, people come first – our culture is all about bringing the best out in our colleagues, and making sure everyone feels valued, respected, seen and included. We strongly believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace and to find the very best person for the job, we always look across a wide range of diverse communities.

Happy to welcome applications from candidates who wish to work flexibly - hybrid role with a mix between working from home, store and out and about on customer meetings.

So what would you be doing?

1. Searching out local businesses who want a different approach when it comes to their Banking – the go-to in your local community.
2. Be an expert on our products and business services; service lines, lending, deposits, asset finance, invoice finance, cash management and coming soon Trade and FX.
3. Managing your own P&L – in charge of your own destiny!
4. Creating FANS in the local business community by attending networking events, store events and generally getting out there; spreading the word that there is a new Bank in town.
5. Leading a 20+ colleague Store to make sure we are making the best of every interaction with all of our customers so that we create FANS for life and bring more people into the Store.
6. Building amazing relationships with your internal colleagues to provide our customers with a first class experience across all areas of Metro Bank.
7. 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:

1. Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers.
2. Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment.
3. Passionate about engaging with new customers and growing the Bank.
4. Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do.
5. Demonstrate a passion for understanding and getting to know local businesses (these businesses will range in terms of size and industries).
6. Writing credit papers – you will need to understand a balance sheet and have a good eye for detail.
7. Leading teams (small or large, we don’t mind too much) - looking after your Store colleagues is one of the most important things you do every day.

Our promise to you…

1. 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!
2. 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!).
3. 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.

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? Good luck!
