Junior Relationship Manager & Business Developer – Corporate Clients

Swissquote, Switzerland’s leading digital bank with more than 1,500 people across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, is hiring a Junior Relationship Manager & Business Developer – Corporate Clients. The role is full-time and onsite in Gland, Vaud, and sits within the Corporate Business Line, focusing on treasury, FX, securities and broader institutional banking needs. This is a great fit for someone early in their career who wants to grow into an independent corporate RM/BD and build a real client portfolio.

The company does its work fast but takes pride in what it creates, constantly evolving to make finance less routine and more powerful. It values room to take on responsibility and to grow at a pace that suits you, with a culture that welcomes diverse backgrounds and perspectives. If you’re looking for a place where collaboration happens across teams and where achievements get celebrated, this could be a good match.

You’ll work closely with more senior colleagues and internal stakeholders to support existing client relationships, spot new business opportunities and gradually expand your own portfolio and commercial scope. The role is explicitly designed as a stepping stone toward greater independence as a Corporate Relationship Manager / Business Developer, with the chance to develop alongside a team that serves corporate clients’ treasury, FX, securities and related institutional services.

Growing corporate relationships at Swissquote

In this entry-level position within the Corporate Business Line, you’ll be the daily point of contact for routine client requests and you’ll coordinate with colleagues across the bank to ensure timely execution and clear follow-up. You’ll also help bring in new corporate clients and support prospecting efforts, with an eye on gradually assuming more commercial responsibility and shaping your own client roster.

As you learn, you’ll build a solid grasp of how clients run their businesses, their treasury structures, currency exposures and investment needs. You’ll begin to identify opportunities in FX, securities, custody and other institutional services, and you’ll back client meetings with relevant information and tidy post-meeting follow-up. You’ll assist in drafting commercial proposals and pricing requests under the approved framework, and you’ll support onboarding and lifecycle tasks with the appropriate internal teams. Throughout, you’ll keep an eye on activity, client potential and agreed commercial objectives, and you’ll escalate material risks to senior colleagues when necessary, all while collaborating with Trading, Product and Operations to deliver a smooth client experience and contribute to ongoing improvements to the Corporate offering.

Advice for applicants

Lead with the right experience. On your résumé, open with your first relevant role in banking, treasury, or any client-facing financial position so recruiters see the direct fit at a glance.

Make your skills tangible. When you describe your background, include concrete examples that show how you’ve managed client relationships, worked with cross-functional teams, and identified opportunities in FX, securities or treasury topics.

Get ready for the conversation. Be prepared to explain how you would support onboarding, prepare commercial proposals and pricing requests, and how you would monitor client potential and objectives while escalating risks when needed.

Ask a sharp question. For example: how does the Corporate offering evolve to address market needs, and how does the team measure client potential and progress toward commercial objectives within that offering?
