Working Pattern

Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

What you'll be doing:

Join our Trade and Working Capital Product team and help shape solutions that support businesses across the UK and internationally. This is an exciting opportunity to influence products that help clients manage liquidity, fund trade flows and support growth.

As a Trade Finance Product Manager, you'll support the development and delivery of the Trade product strategy within Business & Commercial Banking, helping to ensure strong customer outcomes and compliance with internal governance requirements. You'll work closely with colleagues across the bank and external partners to enhance product journeys through policy, process and customer experience improvements, whilst supporting the ongoing growth and evolution of our Structured Trade Lending proposition.

Working as part of a collaborative team of product specialists, you'll help drive innovation, improve customer experiences and contribute to the future success of our Trade business.

We're on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we're shaping finance for good. We're focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone, make change happen and challenge the status quo. Sound like you?

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years experience within Core Trade with a focus on Trade Finance.
• Proven experience in commercial product management.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use data and insight to drive decision-making.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence a range of stakeholders.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across multiple teams, functions and external partners.

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this job advert may reference specific years of experience, we recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities, and we're committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer Initiative.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.

We provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to reduce or remove barriers. Just let us know what you need.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 30 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
