We are working with one of the UK’s largest banking groups on a Vice President hire within its newly launched, dedicated venture banking business — a specialist franchise built to back the country’s most ambitious high-growth, VC-backed companies and the investors behind them.
This is a chance to join a fast-scaling platform at the heart of the UK innovation economy: a group serving 20 million customers, supporting 1.5 million businesses, and ranked as Great Britain’s biggest bank for business. The venture & growth finance team provides senior-ranking venture debt to scale-up stage technology companies — flexible, lower-cost capital that extends runway and funds expansion alongside equity rounds. With the broader group carrying £700+ billion in total assets, this is institutional firepower aimed squarely at the growth-stage market.
