We’re Capital on Tap 👋 💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved.

Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. 1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable.

Nice to Have * GRC Platform Experience: Experience evaluating or implementing a GRC platform. * AI & Operational Resilience: Exposure to AI risk management and operational resilience under FCA expectations. * Professional Qualifications: A recognised risk qualification such as IRM (Institute of Risk Management), FRM (GARP), PRMIA or equivalent.
