Loans and Investments Adviser

Function

You’ll be given the opportunity to specialise in one or both of these areas. Perhaps you already have experience with loans, or perhaps your main interest lies in investments. What matters most is that you’re curious, able to spot business opportunities and enjoy engaging with customers.

Your day-to-day work may include, amongst other things:

• You will assist customers with their credit and/or investment enquiries.
• You assess clients’ financial situations and objectives and ask targeted questions to understand their needs.
• You will process loan applications and guide customers through the entire process.
• You advise clients on investment opportunities that match their profile and expectations.
• You’ll actively follow up with existing customers and further develop the relationship.
• You’ll be on the lookout for commercial opportunities and won’t be afraid to ask probing questions.
• You don’t shy away from prospecting, even when you have to make the first move yourself.
• You will work closely with your colleagues and ensure that customers receive a consistent and professional service.

Profile

We are primarily looking for a a commercially-minded individual keen to hit the ground running. Experience in the banking sector is certainly not a requirement. Perhaps you already have several years’ professional experience in a completely different sector and would now like to apply that commercial expertise in the financial world.

• You have a commercial mindset and get a real buzz from interacting with customers.
• You are proactive and don’t just wait for a customer to come to you with a question.
• You’re not afraid to ask follow-up questions and enjoy finding out what’s really behind a customer’s needs.
• You have professional experience, preferably in a commercial or customer-focused environment.
• Experience in the banking sector is a plus, but by no means essential.
• You don’t need to know about both loans and investments straight away. A solid grounding in one area is enough; you’ll learn the rest as you go along.
• For us, your degree is less important than your abilities, motivation and business acumen.
• You’re open, approachable and down-to-earth.
• You combine persuasiveness with sufficient empathy to guide clients in a personalised way.
• You feel at ease with different types of customers and in various kinds of conversations.
• A good knowledge of French is important. It’s okay to make mistakes, but, particularly when dealing with credit applications, you must be able to express yourself clearly and understand the customer properly.
• You recognise yourself in an energetic, enterprising profile: sociable, results-oriented and not afraid to take the initiative.
