Management Associate (MA) Role

There are some people who choose to take the ambitious path of taking on the challenge of becoming a MA at a bank.

This is an interesting role as it exposes the person to many departments in a particular division within the bank. The MA could be at one department for 6 months and move onto another for another 6 months.

During this period, the MA will be pushed to the limits with lots of projects to study the way things are done in the departments and recommend ways to improve the process flow, attend meetings, make presentations, do up reports, attend trainings, may go on overseas assignments, write summary reports, basically, it is a very stressful and demanding role which needs long hours at work.

The entire stint may range from 2-3years, after which the MA will be well-trained in the various facets of the division's work.

The MA will then be well-suited to take up the role of a manager in one of the division's area of work. This is the fruit of the MA's labour over the entire 2-3years of hard work.
