A small group of big relationships. Blake Oliver Consulting is working with one of Australia's largest banking groups to appoint a Relationship Director into its commercial banking team in Melbourne's south east.

This is a newly created growth role. You'll take on an established portfolio of top-end commercial and emerging corporate customers across wholesale, importing and manufacturing. These are substantial businesses with real growth plans, and each relationship matters. You'll be supported by a dedicated Assistant Relationship Manager and backed by specialists across the group.
The bank is looking for a sharp, high-energy banker who grows relationships through smart conversations rather than volume of calls. Strong cash flow and working capital lending capability is central to this role.

What You'll Do

- Manage and grow a high-value portfolio of commercial and emerging corporate client groups
- Be the trusted adviser to business owners and finance leaders, understanding their operations and where they're heading
- Structure working capital, cash flow and term lending solutions for complex, growing businesses
- Protect and deepen every relationship in the book while finding organic growth opportunities
- Bring in specialists across trade, markets, transactional banking and wealth to deliver the full capability of the group
- Lead your ARM day to day and share your experience with the wider team

What We're Looking For

- Experience managing commercial or corporate banking relationships with complex lending needs
- Strong credit capability, particularly cash flow, working capital and trade-related lending




- The judgement to structure and negotiate larger, more sophisticated transactions
- Exposure to wholesale, distribution, importing or manufacturing businesses is highly regarded
- A curious, commercially sharp approach and the presence to hold conversations at owner and CFO level

Why Apply

- A newly created role with an established, high-quality portfolio from day one
- Significant credit authority suited to emerging corporate deals
- A dedicated ARM and direct access to specialists across the group
- Part of an executive-backed push to grow business banking, in a team adding headcount
- Competitive base salary, strong performance bonus and hybrid working
