They ensure customers subscribe to the brand. They’re also in charge of media and external communications.
Internal control Officers

Sometimes, people called them “watchdogs”. They sometimes work as CIO or simply say investigation officers.

One of the high demand for banking jobs is a data analyst. This skill is not always earned through a degree, you can master this skill through free online training sites such as Udemy, Coursera, etc.
Cashiers/ Teller officers
There is always a place for cashiers/ tellers in the banking sector.
Though, several reports suggest that this position wouldn’t be available in the nearest future due to the development of artificial intelligence which can be easily integrated to replace their jobs.
In my own opinion, robots can’t perform better than humans. Moreover, someone will still need to operate these machines to function well.
They also lack human feelings which might spoil business for the big brands if they’re fully utilized.
Customers Service Officers
Customer service officers are the beauty queens and kings sitting close to Cashiers/ Teller officers in the banking hall.
They attend to all issues and inquiries. They also help in opening of accounts.
There are banking jobs available for customer service officers in Nigeria.
Administrators/ Human resources Officers
This position is crucial for the full functioning of the bank.
They are those faces many job seekers don’t like seeing as they always ask difficult questions.
They always want the best for the company.
Sometimes I always considered them as owners of the bank or company. That’s why I always addressed them as “employer of Labour”.
In some of my cover letters, you’ll see this sentence “I will add great value to your company”. I always forget they are not the owner of the business.
