Hi, we’re Griffin! We’re the bank for companies who want to build and launch financial products. We're rapidly heading towards a future where most of us access financial services through technology companies rather than high street banks. All sorts of companies are now embedding financial products into their apps and user journeys so that their customers can seamlessly make payments, manage expenses, take out loans, save, invest, and do more. The problem is that companies are still dependent on legacy banking infrastructure if they want to offer regulated financial products. They need to either partner directly with an incumbent bank and/or stitch together middleware from various Banking as a Service (BaaS) providers. This process is slow, expensive, and complex and makes it very hard for companies to get new financial products off the ground. At Griffin, we want to change this. We want to make it easy for companies to bring finance to their customers at the point of greatest relevance. So, we built a bank. But not just any bank! Griffin is a technology platform and a bank: fully regulated, API-first, developer-centric, and purpose-built to serve innovative fintechs and brands who want to build and embed financial products. _ Our culture is our most important asset, and one of the ways we safeguard it is by being extremely intentional about hiring the right people. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. We also believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. That’s why we’re transparent by default, and we encourage open discussion and challenge across all levels of the organisation. We’re also remote-first, asynchronous, and fully flexible - because you're the expert on how and when you do your best work. _ Griffin's Chart team — what most companies call Finance — is our strategic engine room. 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. The team of seven sits across four sub-teams: FP&A, which supports the business in budgeting, forecasting, MI and new product expansion Prudential, responsible for our regulatory reporting and prudential processes including our ICAAP and ILAAP Treasury operations, managing our cash, liquidity and funding operations Financial Control, which oversees statutory accounting, tax, cost control and revenue/billing. Griffin is entering one of its most consequential chapters, a growth phase and an expanding product roadmap. Current key projects include supporting our engineering teams on the technical design of Banksy, our in-house core banking system, and launching a new card issuing platform. As CFO, you’ll be expected to lead the Chart function. You’ll report to the CEO and work closely with them on strategic planning and budgeting for the business as a whole. 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. 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 orienting the business towards profitability. You’ll be responsible for leading from the front on financial discipline and making sure the business keeps costs under control while also working with the business to ensure it is adequately resourced to achieve its growth targets.

FP&A: You have a strong background in FP&A, supporting the business in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning. Growth-minded partner, not just a financial gatekeeper: You're a commercial leader excited to drive revenue growth. You've worked directly on pricing strategy, unit economics, and bottom-line ownership, not just taken them as given from business heads. Performant, disciplined, hands-on: You roll up your sleeves, dig into the details, and move at pace to resolve problems at their root. You don't just direct from a distance and set and hold a high bar for performance in your team. A good craftsman does blame his tools: You're obsessed with productivity and efficiency. You actively seek out AI and SaaS tools to help the Chart team work faster and smarter. Objective: You're the anchor of reality in a room full of optimism. You’re honest about tradeoffs, focused on achievable targets, and never distracted by unlikely scenario planning. Signal, not noise: You take complexity and make it simple. You tell accurate stories that drive clarity for investors, the Board, and internal teams, and you're comfortable introducing unconventional metrics where they're more useful. Fresh perspective: You've built high-performing teams and see the function as a strategic partner — opening new business lines, spotting commercial opportunities, and driving product development. Diplomat and consigliere: You instil confidence by speaking honestly and thoughtfully. You stay aligned with the CEO, challenge inconsistencies openly, and focus on closing conversations rather than opening new concerns. Spidey-sense: You see around corners — and can always explain why a concern is real, not just that it exists.

As a bank, we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of security. This means that the successful candidate will need to complete background screening, and our offer will be conditional upon satisfactory review of these checks. This would include verification of right to work, criminal record, credit history, social media and professional reference checks. Are we your next move? Apply via the link below, if there's a match our Talent team will reach out to schedule an initial conversation and talk you through what happens next. We have a small London office in Moorgate, but we are comfortable hiring people to work from anywhere in the UK. About a third of the company is based within occasional commuting distance of London, the rest are full-time remote. Our goal is for Griffin to proportionally represent the diversity of the working population in society. We’re working to ensure that Griffin is a supportive, empowering and inclusive environment for every member of our team — whatever your combination of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, nationality, neurodiversity, and religious beliefs. If you’re part of a group that is under-represented in fintech, we’d love to hear from you.
