Private Banking Manager - Sports Media & Entertainment

Overview

At Metro Bank, we believe the best banking experience starts with people who genuinely care. We’re not just delivering banking services - we’re building trust through authentic connections. Here, our people come first; our colleagues are part of a team that values individuality, collaboration, and long-standing relationships.

We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible. In the case of this role, the expectation is that you are based in our London office every Tuesday and also visible for 2 other days of the week (of your choice), Monday to Friday.

The remaining 2 days of the week, you can work from wherever you wish as long as you are able to manage your time accordingly and meet client requirements.

• Deliver exceptional service to High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) through tailored banking solutions.
• Build and manage a portfolio of clients, introducing new customers with bespoke deposit and lending arrangements.
• Network externally with introducers (accountants, solicitors, IFAs) and internally with colleagues across Commercial, Retail, and Specialist teams.
• Promote Metro Bank’s Private Banking proposition, with an emphasis on growing relationships and client base through provision of first-class service.
• Take ownership of account opening processes, ensuring thorough due diligence and accurate documentation.
• Manage credit facilities, including monitoring, annual reviews, and addressing arrears promptly.
• Identify and mitigate risk at onboarding and throughout the relationship, liaising with internal risk teams.
• Act as the face of Private Banking internally and externally, proactively promoting the offering and driving business growth.

• Previous experience in Sports Media & Entertainment within top-end private banking, ideally with exposure to HNW clients and complex relationships.
• Experience in residential and buy-to-let mortgages, plus business and/or commercial banking.
• Proven track record of building and managing a portfolio of clients and delivering consistent career progression.
• Ability to create a business plan detailing how to bring in up to £15m of new to bank deposits, collectively across our personal and business banking offerings.
• Strong stakeholder management skills – both internal and external – with the ability to handle demanding relationships.
• Experience in due diligence and risk management, including the experience with clients linked to high-risk countries or industries.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage competing priorities.
• Evidence of leadership, coaching, and development experience, including mentoring roles or external leadership positions.

We will make sure that you are well-rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts.

We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!).

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl?

Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates. Good luck!
