Senior Account Executive - FinTech
We do things differently around here.
We built ClearBank on the belief that banking infrastructure would no longer slow down progress. Instead, it would be a catalyst
that unlocks the potential to innovate. It would adapt to different needs so a new era in financial services could begin. We’re
here to challenge the status quo in banking, are you?
We all know that transforming banking forever is not an easy mission, but we’re more than ready to rise to that challenge. We all
do it every day; navigating new, unexpected and sometimes even daunting challenges. But we believe in ourselves and trust we can
do it.
Want to innovate? Go for it. Push for a better way? You Can. If you think you have it in you, this is Where You Can.
ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy
and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank.
If that excites you, how about joining our FinTech team, a business within the Client Management department as a Senior Account
Executive, reporting to the Head of FinTech. The team is challenging FinTech companies to think differently about how they
currently process payments, manage liquidity and reconcile across currencies and jurisdictions.
