Griffin is a UK-authorised bank and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform that enables businesses to embed bank accounts, payments, safeguarding/client-money accounts, savings, and KYC/Verify functionality into their products via a purpose-built REST API and developer sandbox. The company combines regulated banking infrastructure with API-driven developer tools to support fintechs and businesses building payments, payroll, proptech, wealthtech and other financial products, while operating under PRA and FCA oversight.

📋 Description

• Lead the Chart function and report to the CEO on strategic planning and budgeting for the business. • Hold one of the two Executive Director seats on the Board, providing context from the business to the Board. • Define the strategy for finance operations and uphold regulatory submissions for compliance. • Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams on Banksy (in-house core banking system) and new card issuing platform. • Chair the Executive ALCO and oversee all financial modelling and regulatory reporting. • Manage relationships with regulators, ensuring clear and credible communication. • Support the CEO on fundraising and growth strategy, engaging with investors. • Drive performance and architect a finance function suited for the AI era.

🎯 Requirements

• Banking and/or Fintech Experience: You've held a senior finance leadership role in banking or fintech and have a solid grasp of the FCA/PRA regulatory environment. • 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. • 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. • Fresh perspective: You've built high-performing teams and see the function as a strategic partner. • Diplomat and consigliere: You instil confidence by speaking honestly and thoughtfully. • Spidey-sense: You see around corners — and can always explain why a concern is real, not just that it exists. • A love of writing - we have a major amount of written documentation that you will be contributing to, and we place a high degree of importance on clarity and readability
