I am pleased to bring to your attention the above career opportunity.

After 15 years working in the banking sector and having succeeded in previous challenges I consider you are prepared to take up a position of responsibility for a business line across a supranational geographic area. This will be a major step in your career and will involve departing from the “day to day management of deals and clients” towards a new position oriented more towards building and leading teams. This role will give you the opportunity to develop a new set of skills that will be of major importance to progress further in your career.

Additionally, this new position will expose you to a variety of cultures and countries that will contribute to broaden your perspectives.
