Head of People

We’re building the future of retail banking—and we need a Head of People who knows how to scale, inspire, and elevate exceptional teams.

As a fast-growing London-based fintech, we’re redefining what a modern financial institution looks like. Now we’re looking for a strategic, forward-thinking Head of People to help us scale with intention and build a culture that attracts the brightest minds in the industry.

What you’ll lead
  • Shape and execute our People strategy as we transition from fintech scale-up to full retail banking player
  • Build a high-performance culture rooted in transparency, innovation, and accountability
  • Partner with the executive team on organisational design, workforce planning, and leadership development
  • Own the full People lifecycle—from talent acquisition and employer brand to performance, engagement, and reward
  • Strengthen our diversity, equity, and inclusion foundations as we grow
  • Ensure our People operations and policies meet the standards of a regulated financial environment without losing our fintech edge
What you bring
  • Proven experience as a Head of People, People Director, or similar leadership role in fintech, technology, or high-growth digital businesses
  • A track record of scaling teams through periods of rapid growth, transformation, or regulatory change
  • Deep understanding of modern People practices, data-driven decision-making, and progressive culture-building
  • Comfort operating at both strategic and hands-on levels—you can design the strategy and roll up your sleeves to deliver it
  • Experience partnering with senior leadership and influencing at board level
  • A passion for building organisations where people do the best work of their careers
Why join us
  • A rare opportunity to shape the People function of a company entering one of the most exciting phases in its journey
  • The autonomy to build, innovate, and challenge traditional banking norms
  • A mission-driven environment where your work directly impacts the future of financial services
  • Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and a culture that values flexibility, trust, and growth
