Senior Banker, Head of Office – Amman, Jordan recruitment
We’re expanding into the region and helping to underpin the stable economic growth demanded by the people who live here. It’s a challenging remit and, as a key member of our management team, you’ll make it a reality.
About the role
As Head of the Amman Resident Office, you’ll play an instrumental role in the start up phase of our operations in Jordan as you help to shape and are responsible for implementing our country strategy. You’ll build and manage the local team and Office, and you’ll oversee a diverse range of projects – making decisions that will have a direct impact on industry areas as broad as infrastructure, finance and sustainable energy. Throughout, you’ll take responsibility for everything from origination and execution, to post-signing monitoring, working closely with colleagues in the sector/product teams and London Headquarters. In addition, you’ll be responsible for leading policy dialogue with Government officials working together with them to better serve the people of Jordan. It’s a challenge, both professionally and culturally but is one that will have a positive impact on lives across the region.
About you
Substantial international banking experience gained at a major financial organisation means you’ll have direct experience of negotiating with private and public entities, preparing country strategies and structuring transactions. Strong negotiation skills mean you’ll be adept at liaising with government officials. While your ability to structure deals and understand key issues related to infrastructure projects will be second to none. In addition, as well as demonstrating astute political judgement, cultural sensitivity and excellent interpersonal skills, you’ll bring us a proven ability to lead various teams, have an exceptional academic record and have fluent English and ideally Arabic language skills.
