Senior Banking Associate Opportunity – Manchester (Top 10 International Ranked Law Firm)


Are you ready to take your career in banking law to the next level? My client, a leading international law firm, is seeking an experienced Senior Banking Associate to join their dynamic and innovative Manchester-based team. This is a unique opportunity to work across a variety of high-value and complex lending transactions while collaborating with colleagues both in the UK and internationally.


Why Join This Team?

This role sits within a highly regarded corporate and leveraged finance team, part of a broader finance group that spans multiple practice areas, including:

  • TMT finance
  • Corporate lending, including corporate real estate lending
  • Venture debt and growth finance


As a Senior Associate, you’ll work on diverse and interesting transactions, collaborating with top-tier clients ranging from established UK and international banks to private equity sponsors, corporates, and cutting-edge start-ups. My client also boasts a strong venture debt practice, playing a pivotal role in supporting early-stage companies, many of which are part of their highly successful start-up program.

While the role is Manchester-based, you’ll gain exposure to deals across London and the firm’s international network, offering unparalleled opportunities to broaden your expertise and develop professionally.


What You’ll Bring

To thrive in this role, you’ll need:

  • Strong experience in corporate lending and/or venture debt and growth finance
  • A solid working knowledge of LMA documentation
  • At least 6 years of post-qualification experience (PQE)
  • Proven ability to lead transactions and manage junior associates or trainees


A Platform for Growth

Joining this team means more than just working on high-profile deals – it’s a chance to grow within a supportive and forward-thinking firm. From day one, you’ll benefit from tailored training and development programs designed to help you achieve your professional goals and maximize your potential.


What’s in It for You?

My client offers a market-leading rewards package, designed to support you at every stage of your career:

  • Competitive salary, reviewed annually
  • Flexible, hybrid working options
  • Generous bonus scheme
  • 25 days holiday (increasing with service) plus holiday exchange options
  • Private medical insurance
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Support for reasonable adjustments and accommodations


Inclusive and Future-Focused

My client is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive culture where diverse talent thrives. As an advocate for equality and diversity, they actively promote a flexible working environment and encourage applications from all backgrounds, including those who may not meet every qualification or are returning from a career break.

Their efforts have been consistently recognized, including placements in the Times Top 50


Employers for Women and the Social Mobility Index, and they are proud to be a Level 2 Disability Confident Employer.

If you’re looking for a role that combines high-calibre work with opportunities for personal and professional development, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
