Senior Banker, Head of Office – Tunis, Tunisia 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 Tunis Resident Office, you’ll play an instrumental role in the start up phase of our operations in Tunisia as you help to shape and are responsible for implementing our country strategy. You’ll build and manage the local team and Office, and will oversee a diverse range of projects - making decisions that will have a direct impact on industry areas as broad as private enterprise and 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 Tunisian people. It’s a challenge, both professionally and culturally but one that will have a positive impact on lives across the region.
About you
With substantial international banking experience gained at a major financial organisation, 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, an exceptional academic record and fluent English and French language skills.
