Here at ASB, the customer is at the heart of everything we do.
ASB Rural Banking is a team of dedicated rural specialists who work closely with our customers to deliver unbeatable experiences. Our rural bankers have a deep knowledge of rural business realities; many are farmers themselves or have experience in farming and they are very much a part of their local community.
To continue our excellent success story in our Rural team, we are looking for a Rural Manager to join our Northland team, based in Whangarei.
The role | Te tūranga:
As the Rural Manager, you will be responsible for proactively managing a high-value customer portfolio and the growth of quality rural business in the region. Here, your affinity with the rural sector, personal credibility within the industry, unbeatable people skills and innovative approach to delivering to your customer's needs will enable you to grow successful relationships with your customers while developing a strong network of contacts to draw on down the track. You'll understand the importance of working alongside customers to build stronger rural businesses that are resilient to the demands facing the sector and that ultimately support happier farming families.
You will enhance ASB's external profile and reputation in the Rural sector using internal and external communication channels. This communication will focus on the promotion of ASB capabilities, knowledge and expertise in business activation and delivering superior customer outcomes for clients in the Rural sector.
About you | Ō pūkenga:
Tertiary qualified or with significant knowledge of the finance and banking industry or rural sector, your proven track record in managing and growing a client portfolio will get your foot in the door; while your negotiation, problem-solving, time-management skills and courage to have robust business conversations with customers will underpin your on-going success. Naturally driven and motivated by providing unbeatable customer outcomes and solutions, you will thrive in working within a high-performing team. Banking experience is not essential if you have relevant experience within the rural industry.
Working for ASB | Te mahi ki ASB:
In return, you will work for an organisation that places huge importance and focus on its people. Our rural team are recognised as being market leaders, and this is a fantastic career move to make your mark in the industry, further your growth and success, and help keep our rural customers one step ahead.
ASB is committed to fostering a culture where people are engaged, passionate and valued - living our values every day is integral to accelerating the financial progress of rural NZ.
