Business Process Lead – Banking - London
An experienced Business Process Lead is required by UK Challenger Bank that is growing its Transformation & Change function. They are looking for a Business Process Lead to help reshape how the organisation designs, runs and improves its core processes. This is a great opportunity for an experienced process professional to take ownership of high-visibility improvement work, partner directly with senior stakeholders, and help build a process-excellence capability that will shape the bank for years to come.
About the role
Reporting to the Transformation Director, you'll lead structured process improvement work across the business — from mapping and diagnosing current-state processes through to designing and embedding better ways of working. You'll be a hands-on practitioner and a trusted advisor in equal measure, comfortable running workshops with front-line teams one day and briefing senior leaders the next.
What you'll be doing
- Building genuine relationships with business leaders and support functions across the bank, and becoming a go-to advisor on process improvement and best practice
- Mapping, analysing and documenting how processes currently work to uncover inefficiencies, risks and opportunities
- Designing future-state processes that support the bank's strategy while meeting regulatory expectations
- Applying recognised improvement methods (Lean, Six Sigma or similar) to deliver improvements that actually stick
- Setting up KPIs and other measures so that benefits — cost savings, productivity gains, better customer outcomes — can be tracked and evidenced
- Making sure risk, control and compliance considerations are designed into every process from the outset
- Partnering with business and technology colleagues to identify where automation, simplification or digitisation can add value
- Helping shape the bank's broader process improvement capability, including standards, frameworks and ways of working
- Coaching and upskilling colleagues in process improvement tools and techniques, and championing a continuous-improvement mindset across the organisation
