An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Payments Performance Office as a Compliance Readiness Manager. In this pivotal role, you will work closely with the Group Payments business to ensure robust compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. You will play a key part in monitoring compliance readiness, providing timely updates to senior management and external stakeholders, and driving continuous improvement in our compliance frameworks.

• Monitor regulatory compliance readiness across Group Payments, ensuring the business is prepared for internal and external reviews
• Provide regular readiness status updates to internal stakeholders (senior management, committees) and external parties (regulators, auditors)
• Maintain effective oversight, ensuring timely reporting and escalation of compliance issues as required
• Lead the delivery of compliance-related initiatives and collaborate with delivery teams to embed best practices.
• Influence senior stakeholders across Risk, Compliance, Product, and Delivery Labs to gain effective insights
• Design and execute high-quality risk assessments, compliance testing, and gap analyses to monitor adherence to regulatory obligations and internal policies
• Prepare governance papers and reports for both internal and external audiences
• Champion automation and data-driven approaches to control monitoring and reporting.

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

• Deep understanding of compliance frameworks and payment regulations
• Familiarity with change management methodologies and agile delivery

• Experience and technical knowledge of payment systems
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, particularly with senior leadership and cross‑functional teams
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and concise documentation for internal and external audiences
• Experience with data analytics to support compliance monitoring and reporting
• Analytical, detail‑oriented, and a continuous improvement mindset.

Our focus is to ensure we’re inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under‑represented groups. We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance‑related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
