Job description

About us

Are you passionate about financial capability? Join us to help develop knowledge, resources and tools that are accessible to all!

At The London Foundation for Banking & Finance (LFBF), our story began in 1879 when a group of visionary bank workers set out to elevate professional standards and leadership in the industry. Over the past 145 years, we became a recognised leader in financial services education, offering industry-leading qualifications and setting the gold standard for professional competency.

In 2023 we entered an exciting new chapter as an independent charity, revitalising and refocusing our mission to improve financial capability and empower professionals in the sector. We are now expanding our team to drive this transformation forward.

Our charitable objective is the advancement of knowledge and education in financial services, and to carry out research and publish useful results for the benefit of the public.

Our objective is just as relevant, perhaps even more so, today as it has been in our long history. If you\'re inspired to make a real impact and contribute to the advancement of financial knowledge for the benefit of society, we want to hear from you.
