About this role

Trust is the first of a new breed of banks in Singapore – digitally native and focused on delivering a delightful customer experience. You will work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment to solve new and interesting challenges each day. Together with our Trust team, you will help shape the future of our bank.

As a Bancassurance Sales Performance Lead, you'd be able to work on and solve many interesting challenges which we are facing, learn new ways of working, and help build a high-performing bancassurance sales force that delivers quality advice and delightful experiences for our customers.

Job Description

Reporting to the Head of Bancassurance, you will be responsible for the end-to-end sales performance of the Bancassurance business. You will own the lead-to-sale funnel, from the leads generated on the Bank's mobile app, supplemented by cold leads, through to the face-to-face sale completed by our Bancassurance Sales team. You will also work with the Sales Associate Team Leads to deliver the monthly and quarterly targets appropriate for the individual salespeople, team and the overall channel. You will own the sales scorecard, including its design, tracking and calculation, and the incentive inputs that flow from it. You will be a key member of our agile cross-functional teams across Product, Technology, Operations, Compliance, Legal, Marketing, Risk and Finance, iterating for 10x better as both our customer and business needs change.

You are a performance-driven sales leader who is equally comfortable in the numbers and on the sales floor. You combine strong analytical and data skills with the ability to coach, motivate and hold a team to account, and you know how to turn a target into daily activity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with high degrees of ambiguity and are happy to roll your sleeves up to get things done. Your success is critically dependent on a positive and progressive attitude as well as your ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders, including our insurance partner.

• Identify performance gaps early and put in place recovery plans, coaching and targeted interventions together with the Sales Associate Team Leads to enhance sales effectiveness

• Drive training, certification and continuous capability building for the Bancassurance Specialists, including onboarding of new hires, product training with the partner, and needs-based sales and objection-handling training

• Provide structured feedback, data-driven insights and actionable recommendations to improve lead quality, lead volumes and in-app journeys ensuring improved conversion rates

• Work closely with the insurance partner's Account Managers on joint targets, training support, product launches and performance reporting
