Senior vice president in corporate banking


What is a senior vice president in corporate banking and what do they do?

A Senior vice president (VP), also called a director in some contexts, has more strategic accountability than a VP and has significant decision-making responsibilities. They will often have strategic ownership for their business area and will develop strategies and policies to ensure that an organisation achieves its financial goals and objectives. Senior VPs communicate strategy to the board of directors and participate regularly in board meetings to appraise them of progress. They also have overall responsibility for planning, directing and coordinating the operational activities of their business unit to increase operating performance. Senior VPs are responsible for overseeing teams and must ensure they attract, retain and motivate staff. They will also prepare budgets, analyse financial reports, create businesses plans, and solve internal issues as they arise.
