Branch Business Relationship Manager - RMSME for Meki Branch
Dashen Bank S.CAbout This Role
This is a frontline revenue role dressed up with a managerial title. Dashen Bank is tasking one person with owning the Retail and MSME growth numbers for the Meki branch — deposits, loans, and cross-sell — which means the job lives and dies on whether you can bring in and keep customers in a semi-urban Oromia market. It suits a banker who has already cut their teeth on lending and relationship management and now wants accountability for a whole branch's business book rather than a slice of it.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The five-to-eight-year window signals Dashen is not looking for a trainee or a pure administrator — they want someone who has already carried portfolio targets and knows the credit process from application to disbursement. The degree list (accounting, marketing, business, banking) hints that they value commercial instinct as much as technical lending knowledge; the ideal hire can read a balance sheet and also hold a conversation with a shop owner about expansion. Underneath the formal language, the profile is someone comfortable working with limited supervision in a regional branch, where resourcefulness matters more than head-office support.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with numbers — portfolio sizes you have grown, deposit mobilization figures, loan recovery or non-performing loan performance. Dashen will be scanning for proof you have delivered growth before, not descriptions of duties. If you have worked in Oromia or another regional market, say so explicitly and explain why you understand Meki's customer base; branch postings outside Addis often struggle to attract strong candidates, so genuine regional familiarity is a differentiator. Mention any MSME-specific lending experience, since that segment is named in the title and carries distinct risk-assessment demands.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a mid-to-senior banker with hands-on SME lending and deposit growth experience who is willing to build a career in a regional branch rather than at head office. Competition is likely moderate — the seniority bar filters many applicants, but the location will narrow the pool further, which works in a well-prepared candidate's favor.
