Bank of Baroda has opened one of the biggest banking recruitments of 4 November 2026, announcing 837 contractual vacancies in its Wealth Management Services Department under Advertisement No. BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/20. The recruitment is dominated by 791 Senior Relationship Manager posts under the Deputy Manager designation, along with 35 Territory Head, 8 Group Head, 2 Investment Product Manager and 1 Head Investment position. Online registration started on 4 November and remains open until 24 November 2026. This is not a fresher-oriented banking drive: every role requires a recognised graduation degree and relevant post-qualification experience, ranging from three years for Senior Relationship Manager to twelve years for Group Head. Some positions also require NISM or IRDA certifications connected with wealth and investment products. The age band varies sharply by role, from 24–35 years for Senior Relationship Manager up to 35–50 years for the two AVP-II positions, with eligibility measured on 1 November 2026. Bank of Baroda has not published a fixed salary scale for these contractual roles; remuneration will depend on qualifications, experience, previous salary, suitability and market benchmarks. The initial engagement is for five years and may be extended further at the Bank’s discretion. Candidates should apply only for the position that best matches their actual wealth-management experience and supporting certificates.
