Branch Business Relationship Manager-IFB for Branches Under South West District Office.
Dashen Bank S.CAbout This Role
This role is about driving growth in Dashen Bank’s Interest-Free Banking (IFB) segment from a frontline leadership position. You’ll be based in the South West District, overseeing business development activities across multiple branches — it’s not a desk job, but a hands-on, results-driven role suited for someone who can combine relationship management with sales execution. The bank is expanding its Islamic banking footprint outside Addis, so you’ll need to understand both the local market and the principles of IFB.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The degree in business administration or a related field signals a need for foundational commercial awareness, but the real emphasis is on your track record — five to eight years of experience, with clear exposure to IFB operations or Islamic finance. This isn’t an entry-level supervisory role; the bank is looking for a seasoned professional who can independently manage teams, coach branch staff, and hit growth targets in a region where IFB adoption may still be developing. Expect the employer to value practical knowledge of Sharia-compliant products over purely academic credentials.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your application on specific examples where you’ve grown a customer base or increased deposits and financing in an IFB or similar ethical banking environment. Highlight any experience managing branch-level teams in regional or semi-urban settings — the South West District likely includes towns with diverse economic activity. Emphasize your ability to train others on IFB products, since you’ll need to cascade product knowledge to branch staff. Avoid generic banking achievements; tie every success to interest-free banking metrics.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for an experienced banking professional with solid IFB expertise who thrives on operational leadership and regional market development. Given the niche skill set and the bank’s reputation, expect moderate competition — qualified candidates with specific IFB experience will have a clear edge.
