Relationship Manager (Agricultural Finance)

About the position

An industry leader in agricultural finance is looking for a Relationship Manager Extraordinaire to cultivate long-term client partnerships, fertilise growth opportunities, and keep the loan book blooming across commercial and development farming sectors.

You'll be the go-to person for client relationship management, from first handshake to successful harvest (loan disbursement), working closely with credit, legal, agri-specialists, and risk teams. Yes, it's a bit of everything - strategy, analysis, business development, and a generous sprinkling of people skills.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Pitching financial and insurance products that help grow South Africa's agri-economy.
• Assessing loan viability and digging deep into organisational structure, governance, and competitive advantage.
• Managing client relationships like a seasoned farmer manages crops - proactively, patiently, and with purpose.
• Visiting clients (yes, you'll need a valid driver's licence and love for the open road).
• Collaborating with internal teams to structure smart, risk-aware deals.
• Keeping an eye on the loan book, ensuring it stays healthy, green, and profitable.

You'll Need:

• A 3-year qualification in Commerce, Business, Banking, or related fields.
• 3-5 years in client relationship management, ideally in a financial services or agri-banking setting.
• Knowledge of agricultural finance, financial statement interpretation, and credit principles.
• Strong business acumen and analytical chops.
• Microsoft Office wizardry (especially Excel - pivot like a pro).
• A passion for development and transformation in agriculture.

If you're ready to be more than just another suit in the system - if you want to empower farmers, grow businesses, and leave a legacy of sustainable development - hit "Apply" faster than you can say "crop rotation."

Desired Skills:

• Agricultural Industry
• Credit Risk assessment
• Structuring of Corporate and Commercial transactions
• Organisational analysis and market evaluation

Desired Qualification Level:

About The Employer:

This institution isn't your everyday bank. It's the quiet force behind soil and seed, where land meets legacy, finance meets farmer, and tradition meets transformation. Think of it as the guardian of fields - unlocking doors for those who till, raising voices for those who were once silenced, enabling growth for those with grit.
