About Us
We're DF Capital - a specialist bank providing award-winning commercial finance, retail finance, and savings products to consumers and small businesses.
Based in Manchester, we serve thousands of customers across the UK and into Europe, supporting their ambitions with tailored financial solutions.
We help our customers realise their ambitions by doing things differently - combining the agility and innovation of a specialist lender with the security and service standards of a regulated bank. Whether it's flexible lending structures or straightforward savings options, we focus on what matters most to our customers.
In 2025, we launched DF Capital Retail Finance - a subsidiary of DF Capital Bank Limited - to offer specialist hire purchase solutions to retail customers.
Our goal is simple: to do the absolute best for our customers, our communities, and each other.
The Role
The Prudential Risk Senior Manager will be responsible for assisting the CRO in overseeing the bank's prudential risks, which include capital, liquidity and funding, and partnering Finance and Treasury to ensure that effective controls are in place to identify, manage, and monitor those risks.
This is a second-line role reporting to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), partnering the CFO area and identifying and managing risks associated with DF Capital's strategy and business plans.
Responsibilities and Duties
DF Capital is passionate about providing employees with the right training and support to help them excel in their roles and future careers. We are confident that an applicant with the right attitude and drive will succeed in this role. The ideal candidate will have had exposure to both capital and liquidity, but someone with strong, practical experience of only one of these should not be but off, as the CRO has strong technical experience and is willing to coach the candidate if they possess independent thinking, a can-do attitude and want to positively contribute to the business. The role offers broad exposure to entities, issues, and both working capital and consumer finance. Duties include:
