Citizens Asst Branch Manager

Assistant Branch Manager (ABM)

At Citizens, we're focused on relationship-building and delivering exceptional customer experiences through every interaction. By fostering deep and lasting relationships, we drive customer loyalty while advancing our strategic goals to acquire, retain, and grow the business. As an Assistant Branch Manager (ABM), you will support your team and contribute individually to exceed customer expectations, nurturing relationships that drive long-term success.

In this role, you'll report to, and collaborate with, your Branch Manager (BM) to oversee and support daily branch activities of multiple branch locations, ensuring operational excellence, and enhancing the customer and colleague experience. Acting as an individual contributor and a coach, you'll inspire your team to achieve individual and collective sales goals by delivering solutions that align with customer needs and drive business results. Through leadership and strong partnerships, you'll cultivate a culture of excellence that powers the branch's growth and success.

Thriving in a digital-first environment, you'll showcase the convenience and accessibility of our mobile and online banking platforms, helping customers seamlessly navigate their financial journeys. You'll supervise branch operations in the BM's absence, and implement consistent business processes to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

A successful ABM is a dynamic communicator who translates business priorities into actionable goals, and empowers colleagues to embrace and execute strategies with confidence. With a strong focus on financial acumen, you'll guide sound decision-making by understanding the branch's outcomes and leveraging key business drivers to achieve success.

As a visible and engaged brand ambassador, you will connect with the local community to cultivate new customer relationships and deepen existing ones.
