About Allica Bank
Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to
help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.
Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely
neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.
Department Description
Our vision is to reimagine Relationship Banking for established SMEs, through the very best people, products and digital tools.
Allica’s Relationship Management team was formed in 2022 and continues to grow at pace, providing established SME customers with
expert human relationships alongside modern banking technology. The team supports customers with lending, current accounts,
savings, asset finance and working capital facilities, while building deep local relationships with SME customers, trusted
professional advisers and business communities. The Regional Lead opportunity is one of four new dedicated leadership roles, and
will be instrumental in driving the next phase of growth in our Direct to Customer channel.

Management region, leading a team of Relationship Managers (portfolio Relationship Managers and Business Development focused

success of the D2C channel.
This is a dedicated senior leadership role within the D2C channel and will combine clear commercial accountability with
performance management and coaching, local go-to-market strategy, risk oversight and cross-team collaboration.
