About This Role

This role places you at the intersection of customer service and sales within a major Ethiopian bank, focusing specifically on individual and small business clients. You will be expected to proactively nurture client relationships to uncover cross-selling opportunities while ensuring high satisfaction levels. It suits a professional who is comfortable balancing a target-driven environment with the personal touch needed to retain and grow a local customer base.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The listed qualifications signal that Dashen Bank is looking for a generalist with a solid foundation in business principles, rather than a specialist in a single area like credit or operations. The preference for three to five years of experience implies the bank expects you to already possess proven relationship management and sales skills, not just academic knowledge. They are seeking someone who can independently manage a portfolio of clients from day one.

How to Approach This Application

When applying, your cover letter and CV must demonstrate tangible results in customer retention and revenue generation from previous banking or financial service roles. Quantify your achievements—mention specific sales targets met, the size of the client portfolio you managed, or the percentage of cross-sold products. Emphasize your understanding of MSME and retail banking products, as the role demands you can confidently explain and sell these to diverse customers.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits
