And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.
We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...
Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders- In order to exceed in this position, you will have previously held a regulatory reporting role within a financial services organisation
- Naturally, it’s really important that you have lots of experience producing liquidity returns, FINREP, COREP.
- To be successful in this role, you will need first class stakeholder collaboration skills
- Of course we need you to have strong analytical skills to reconcile data and explain reports to leaders across the Bank
- It would be fantastic if you have a professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA
Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
