As a Relationship Manager/Business Development within our Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) division, you will be supporting Corporate and Investment Banks with their strategic and tactical decision-making across various areas, including:

• Competitor Analytics: Benchmarking of revenues and headcount to assess competitive positioning and opportunities.
• Financial Resources: Analysis of cost, Risk Weighted Assets (RWA), exposure, and returns to understand resource requirements and efficiency.
• Client Intelligence: Quantitative sizing of individual client wallets across Financial Institutions and Corporates, which are used to assess and target specific client opportunities, coupled with qualitative client feedback. Together these quantitative and qualitative analyses are used by banks to define an actionable client strategy.

2) Business Development Support

a. The Relationship Manager will support the Head of APAC Business Development (located in Singapore), initially on materials, sales strategy, and prospect follow-ups.

b. The Relationship Manager will be responsible for local support of Indian banks and responsible for attending/supporting on prospect and client meetings in Mumbai.

c. Over time, the Relationship Manager will be expected to take a greater lead role in business development of clients/prospects in India, as well as Asia, more broadly.
