The Business
This is a great opportunity to join a growing and purpose-led UK bank at an exciting stage of its development.
The bank has a specialist focus within the UK market and has brought together financial services, technology, and sector expertise to provide tailored financial products to its customers. As the business continues to scale, Compliance is playing an increasingly important role in ensuring the right frameworks, controls, and culture are in place.
For the successful candidate, this means high visibility, exposure to senior leadership, and the opportunity to genuinely influence how Compliance develops within the bank, rather than simply maintaining an established framework.
