Global Payments Solutions (GPS) is a leading provider of treasury, cash management, liquidity, trade and payment solutions to corporate and institutional clients worldwide. Within GPS, the Financial Institutions (FI) team partners with banks and financial institutions globally, delivering strategic treasury and correspondent banking solutions across an international network.
The Turkey FI team plays an important role in supporting some of the country's most significant banks, leveraging Bank of America's international platform, product capabilities and market expertise to help clients optimise their treasury, liquidity, correspondent banking and transaction banking activities. Working in a dynamic and highly collaborative environment, the team partners closely with Corporate Banking, Investment Banking and Product Management colleagues to deliver integrated client solutions and drive franchise growth within a disciplined risk and governance framework.
We are seeking an experienced Director to lead Global Payments Solutions coverage for a portfolio of financial institution clients in Turkey.
This is a highly visible, senior client-facing role responsible for driving treasury revenue growth and expanding product penetration across a portfolio of Turkish financial institutions. The portfolio comprises two groups: (i) Turkish public and private sector banks headquartered in Turkey, together with their subsidiaries and affiliates domestically and abroad; and (ii) the Turkey-based entities of international banking groups.
As an experienced Director, the successful candidate will bring independent judgement, strategic ownership of the coverage franchise, and the seniority to lead — not merely participate in — internal and client engagement. They will originate, structure and execute the full suite of GPS solutions — payments and cash management, transactional FX, liquidity, trade finance, correspondent banking and commercial cards — leveraging Bank of America's global platform, always within the bank's risk appetite and correspondent banking governance standards.
The role offers the opportunity to work closely with senior client decision-makers, shape growth strategy across the portfolio and play a leading role in the continued expansion of Bank of America's Financial Institutions franchise in Turkey.
