Key Responsibilities
- Do you look for a new challenge within the dynamic and fast-paced Wealth Management environment?
- Do you want to be part of a high-performing team?
- Do you have a "can-do" mentality and want to be part of our growth story and create impact?
- Do you want to proactively go the extra mile with us to help our sophisticated clients?
- Are you curious, proactive, and always striving to bring positive impact to clients?
We’re looking for a Payments Risk Specialist to:
- manage the input and release of payments for the WMUK & Jersey business.
- cross-check that the instruction has been given in line with current and valid indemnities for the client. This includes verification of authorized signatures and maintaining that only authorized clients, Powers of Attorney, or Third Party Mandate holders give instructions.
- perform callbacks on payments that fall within the relevant thresholds. Callbacks are to be done in a highly professional and client-focused manner and conducted to verify the authenticity of a payment instruction, alongside fraud prevention measures to enhance and protect our clients’ overall banking experience.
- liaise with key internal service providers and stakeholders (including Client Advisors, Client Account Managers, Desk & Segment Heads) within the bank to ensure the timely execution/resolution of CPT-related queries and obtaining the appropriate exemptions, waivers, and approvals.
- drive improvements to the overall client experience by working with other areas of the bank to ensure a seamless service.
- ensure all risk management controls are adhered to in order to identify and mitigate any potential risk and appropriate management information (MI) is produced.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Your Skills and Experience
- Industry experience with knowledge of key banking and operational procedures, ideally including payments.
