About the job
Allica is on a mission to become Britain's most recommended business bank, by providing established SMEs – who represent more than a third of UK GDP – with lending, savings and current accounts, delivered through the latest proprietary technology alongside expert human relationships.
In Deloitte's annual Technology Fast 50 rankings, Allica is the UK's fastest growing technology firm - and the fastest-growing financial technology (fintech) firm ever. In 2022 Allica became one of the quickest UK fintech firms to reach profitability and closed a £100m Series C investment led by leading global technology investor TCV – investors in the likes of Netflix, Revolut and Spotify.
In the last year Allica received more than ten major financial services industry awards, including being named UK business bank of the year and global SME neobank of the year, alongside being named as one of the world's 100 most promising fintech companies by leading global technology research firm CB Insights.
At the heart of Allica's unique success is two things.
Firstly it's our people, who are positive and passionate about making things happen, deeply care about our purpose and our customers, and are open minded and curious in finding practical ways to solve challenges. In our most recent employee survey 92% of our colleagues said that they enjoy working for Allica, and 88% recommend us as a place to work. But we're not for everyone. Alongside survey responses describing our culture as rewarding, energetic and collaborative, you'll also hear words like challenging and fast paced.
Secondly is our purpose which is to help established SMEs, one of the last 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. We're here to change that. You will be playing a key role as we continue to build a bank dedicated to established SMEs, at what is a crucial time for them.
Purpose Of Role
During 2023 Allica established its Cash Management Sales and Central Relationship Management Teams to support accelerating client acquisition outreach following the launch of its Business Reward Accounts and to ensure that all new current account clients had a dedicated Allica Relationship Manager.
With Allica's ambition to be the most recommended bank for established SME's and to significantly increase its market share of the UK business banking market in the process, the Business Management Team will continue to expand in 2024 as we seek to reach more new customers through establishing new sales channels and continue to provide a best in class service to existing customers, growing Allica's relationship share with them.
This role will work across and closely with the Business Management Teams; Partnership Sales, Cash Management , Relationship Managers and New Business Executives. Supporting these teams with targeted sales campaigns, optimising outreach efforts, identifying and unlocking cross sell opportunities and ensuring that robust pipeline management and reporting is in place.
Early focus in the role will be to support the standing up and operationalizing of the sales outreach of the Partnerships Sales Team, through the building of pipelines, accountant profiles and categorisation, targeted prospecting lists and ongoing engagement strategies.
