About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

This role isn't a standard, fixed-domain position; it is the launchpad for a career-defining journey.
You will start your journey in Core Banking, learning the absolute guts of a bank, including ledgers and accounting.
As you master these fundamentals and our organisation continues to scale, you will need the flexibility to pivot and support other domains, such as payments, savings, and lending, to meet business needs.
We know exactly where this journey starts, but we don't know where it ends. If you are highly adaptable, love to learn, and want to understand how a modern bank truly functions from the inside out, this role is for you.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Professional Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience in a product, engineering, data, business analysis, or highly analytical role, ideally within a fast-paced environment.
Eager Learner: A massive appetite for learning, listening, and growing within an organisation that is constantly expanding (Great to have).
FinTech Exposure: Prior experience or a strong baseline understanding of FinTech, or a regulated banking/lending environment (Nice to have).
Technical Foundation: An engineering background, technical experience, or deep technical curiosity (Nice to have).
Adaptable Core: A background or mindset that thrives on flexibility; you are excited about starting in Core Banking (ledgers and accounting) and eventually moving into payments, savings, or lending as the business evolves.
Execution Track Record: Experience managing your own time effectively, meeting deadlines, and delivering well-scoped tasks with some guidance.
Educational Foundation: A relevant bachelor’s degree (or equivalent educational background) with a foundation in Maths or STEM subjects, would be desirable
