ABOUT GRIFFIN Hi, we’re Griffin. We’re a fully regulated UK bank that powers the accounts and payments offerings of product-led fintechs and platforms like Uber, Yonder, Prosper, and Sidekick. By doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, our customers can focus on what they do best - delivering amazing customer experiences. We’ve grown rapidly since our launch in 2024, and today provide the banking backbone behind products in remittance, payroll, wealth, insurance, proptech, payments, neobanking and more. We’re moving into card issuing, stablecoin infrastructure, and agentic finance next as we continue to support the next generation of product-led companies. Learn more about what we do https://griffin.com OUR CULTURE We believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments and have done our best to create such an environment at Griffin. People who thrive here don’t require much hand-holding, and go out of their way to figure out how to contribute in the most valuable way possible. We've been remote-first since we were established in 2017 and we remain so today. Work here is asynchronous and fully flexible - because we want to be a part of your life in a way that helps you to get the most out of both your work and home life. We understand that our culture and ways of working aren’t for everyone, and we’re very intentional about our hiring process as a result. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. Our strong culture has helped us to remain a mission-driven company as we have scaled, and gives our people a clear, explicit operating framework and the space to focus on delivering real value for our customers.

We strike a careful balance between working closely with commercial and product on what's possible, and giving management, regulators and the Board a complete, accurate picture of the business. We’re objective and grounded in reality, while also looking to push the limits in terms of how a modern finance team looks and performs.

You’ll also hold one of the two Executive Director seats on the Board and provide context from the business to the Board. This is a Senior Management role (SMF2) under the Senior Manager’s and Certification Regime (SMCR), meaning the role holder must comply with the FCA’s Fitness and Propriety Requirements. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE In your first 6 months, you'll have defined the strategy for finance operations and taken full ownership of our regulatory submissions, keeping Griffin compliant and audit-ready. By 12 months, you'll have embedded yourself as a key partner to our Product and Engineering teams on Banksy (our in-house core banking system), and played a central role in getting our new card issuing platform to market with the right financial foundations in place. While continuing to experience robust triple-digit % growth, we’re also orienti
