About This Role
This role sits at the intersection of client growth and portfolio management within one of Ethiopia’s largest commercial banks. As a Senior Corporate Business Relationship Officer at Dashen Bank, you will be expected to actively drive revenue by identifying and cultivating high-value corporate clients, while also deepening existing relationships through cross-selling. It is a mid-level position that demands a blend of sales acumen, financial product knowledge, and relationship stewardship within a structured banking environment.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement for a Bachelor’s degree in fields like Business Administration or Banking, combined with a minimum of five years of relevant experience, signals that Dashen Bank is looking for seasoned professionals who already understand corporate banking workflows. The additional emphasis on training in Islamic banking (IFB), domestic operations, credit, and international banking suggests the bank values versatility and readiness to handle complex, multi-faceted client needs rather than narrow specialization.
How to Approach This Application
Your application should highlight specific achievements in growing a corporate client portfolio, such as percentage increases in loan disbursements, deposit mobilization, or cross-sell ratios. Emphasize any experience you have with diverse banking operations—especially IFB or international banking—since these are flagged as desirable trainings. The employer likely prioritizes candidates who can demonstrate both a track record of meeting sales targets and a thorough grasp of regulatory and operational frameworks in Ethiopian banking.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a corporate banking professional with at least five years of experience who is comfortable balancing relationship management with revenue generation. Given Dashen Bank’s stature and the competitive nature of mid-level corporate roles, expect a moderately high applicant pool where proven portfolio growth and operational breadth will be key differentiators.
