About Griffin Hi, we're Griffin! We're the bank for companies who want to build and launch financial products. Our context We're rapidly heading towards a future where most of us access financial services through technology companies rather than high street banks. All sorts of companies are now embedding financial products into their apps and user journeys so that their customers can seamlessly make payments, manage expenses, take out loans, save, invest, and do more. The problem is that companies are still dependent on legacy banking infrastructure if they want to offer regulated financial products. They need to either partner directly with an incumbent bank and/or stitch together middleware from various Banking as a Service (BaaS) providers. This process is slow, expensive, and complex and makes it very hard for companies to get new financial products off the ground. At Griffin, we want to change this. Our purpose We want to make it easy for companies to bring finance to their customers at the point of greatest relevance. So, we built a bank. But not just any bank! Griffin is a technology platform and a bank: fully regulated, API-first, developer-centric, and purpose-built to serve innovative fintechs and brands who want to build and embed financial products. Learn more about what we do. Our culture Our culture is our most important asset, and one of the ways we safeguard it is by being extremely intentional about hiring the right people. We won't hire people who don't seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. We also believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. That's why we're transparent by default, and we encourage open discussion and challenge across all levels of the organisation. We're also remote-first, asynchronous, and fully flexible - because you're the expert on how and when you do your best work. Learn more about our culture. The Risk and Compliance Team Our vision is of risk and compliance teams that are an integral part of the business - somewhere our colleagues go to for expert and pragmatic advice. These functions are fundamental to the success of our business and we aim to be thought leaders in the space. We're early on our journey of building this function to meet our aspirations. Success in this role means taking a key role in that build process, while having complete ownership of all matters relating to compliance at Griffin. You'll develop close working relationships with the risk team and the business' other functions, particularly Operations, Product and Commercial. Who are you?

Experience of working for or closely with a regulatory body Experience working for, or with, a bank in the UK. Comfort with solo execution - we're a small team so you'll need to be happy rolling up your sleeves. Comfort with managing people. A love for writing - we have a lot of documents to draft and we place a high degree of importance on clarity and readability (read more about how we write ) Comfort picking up new software tools for document drafting, collaboration and communication. This is because we're hybrid-remote and most of your colleagues will not share an office with you on a day-to-day basis. N.B. We're able to sponsor Skilled Workers for this role.

Hello, we're Starling. Banking was broken - so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values. All at the tap of a phone, all the time. We built Britain's first digital bank. One hard-won banking licence later, we set about giving people a new way to spend, save and manage their money (and take better care of the planet, too). We're changing banking for good. Back then, we were obsessed with unravelling the knotty world of finance and solving people's problems rather than selling them stuff. We still are. Since then, we've grown. A lot. Over four million accounts (and four account types!). A team of thousands. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester and Southampton.
