About the role
This executive interview tests how you would lead a corporate banking franchise, not simply win individual mandates. The panel is looking for commercial judgement, command of credit risk, credible client leadership and the ability to align product, coverage and control teams.
How to prepare
- Map how you would segment a corporate portfolio by sector, value, risk and unmet client need.
- Prepare an example of a large relationship or transaction where you protected both the client outcome and the bank's return.
- Review how foreign exchange pressure, interest costs and supply disruption can affect corporate borrowers.
- Practise explaining the portfolio indicators you would take to an executive committee.
- Prepare a people leadership example involving performance, collaboration or succession within a senior team.
Common mistakes
- Talking only about revenue without addressing returns, concentration and credit quality.
- Presenting every client request as a deal that credit should approve.
- Giving a strategy with no clear choices about sectors, clients or team capacity.
- Claiming team results without explaining your own executive decisions.
