What You'll Do
As an Assistant Relationship Manager in Real Estate Finance, you’ll get hands-on experience of how a bank supports clients investing in and financing real estate.
Working alongside experienced Relationship Managers, you’ll learn about the full lending journey, from reviewing new opportunities and understanding a client’s business, through to helping prepare credit proposals and supporting loans once they are in place.

- Support annual reviews of existing clients and lending facilities, including financial analysis, credit ratings and pricing calculations.
- Work with Relationship Managers to help progress new lending opportunities from initial discussion through to completion.
- Support the onboarding of new clients, learning about Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and financial crime requirements.
- Help gather and review client information and documentation, ensuring records are complete and accurate.
- Support day-to-day client requests and help investigate queries or account issues.
- Assist with reporting, client audits, questionnaires and other team activities.
- Work with colleagues across areas such as Credit, Financial Crime and Operations, giving you exposure to different parts of the Bank.
- Get involved in team projects and wider initiatives within Real Estate Finance.
- Develop your commercial awareness and understanding of the UK real estate and banking sectors.
