What the Commercial Relationship Management Officer actually does
You sit in the branch sales team. Your job is simple to say and hard to fake: bring in commercial customers, keep them, and grow the book.
Day to day that means:
- Run the branch commercial sales plan against local market reality
- Cross-sell deposits, loans, trade, cards and ALAT products
- Visit clients, pitch, close, then service the account so it does not walk
- Turn a complaint into a new product sale when you can
- Keep KYC, credit and operational risk inside the bank’s appetite
Wema calls the grade ABO to DM. That is mid-level sales, not teller work and not corporate RM for listed conglomerates.
Locations open for the Wema Bank Commercial Relationship Management Officer role
The LinkedIn post and later SeamlessHiring ads list these clusters:
| Region | Typical posting cities |
|---|---|
| Southwest | Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Ogun, Ekiti, other South-West branches |
| Southeast | South-East cluster (apply under South-East listing) |
| Midwest / South-South | Midwest and South-South listings |
| North | Abuja 1 & 2, Kano / Northwest-Northeast |
Pick the city you can physically cover. Relationship work is not remote. The bank expects client visits.
Requirements that get you past HR
Official bar from Wema’s own job pages:
- Minimum first degree in any discipline. Extra certificates help.
- 3–10 years cognate experience. Most ads lean sales and marketing, not operations.
- CIBN is listed as professional certification. Treat it as strongly preferred.
- Digitally comfortable. You will live in ALAT, core banking screens and Excel.
- You can talk, write, close and lead a small team without drama.
NYSC must be done. Age is not published on this grade the way it is on the Bankers-in-Training programme (26 and below).
What Wema Bank pays a relationship officer in 2026
Wema does not print the offer in the advert. Market data does.
Public salary write-ups put Wema relationship / credit officers around ₦180,000–₦380,000 basic a month, with transport, feeding, data and target-based incentives on top. High closers land higher. Glassdoor bands for Wema Relationship Manager titles run roughly ₦4m–₦9m a year in Lagos when you add bonus.
Nigeria-wide, commercial and SME relationship managers at Tier-2 banks typically sit ₦200,000–₦550,000 monthly before commission. Treat any figure you hear in a WhatsApp group as a starting point, not a contract.
Benefits that do appear on Wema ads:
- Health cover
- Parental leave
- 13th month / year-end bonus
- Leave allowance
- Profit sharing

FAQ
Do I need CIBN to apply?
The bank lists CIBN under professional certification. People without it still apply. People with it get shortlisted faster. If you are mid-exam, say so on the CV.
What is the salary for a Commercial Relationship Management Officer at Wema Bank?
Expect a Tier-2 commercial RM package: mid ₦100ks to high ₦300ks basic, plus incentives, 13th month, leave allowance and profit share. Final offer depends on your last pay slip and the city.
Can I apply for more than one location?
Yes, if the portal allows separate city links. Do not spam five cities you cannot reach. Recruiters notice.
Is this the same as the Bankers-in-Training Sales Programme?
No. BIT Sales is for candidates 26 and below with a 2:1. The Commercial Relationship Management Officer role wants 3–10 years on the job.

Wema Bank wants Commercial Relationship Management Officers who can walk a market, open accounts and defend the book. Locations cover Lagos, Abuja, Kano, South-West, South-East, Midwest and South-South. Apply on SeamlessHiring with a CV that shows numbers, not adjectives.
