Job description

We have been awarded the “Most Loved Workplace”! At Metro Bank, people come first – our culture is all about bringing the best out in our colleagues, and making sure everyone feels valued, respected, seen and included. We strongly believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace and to find the very best person for the job, we always look across a wide range of diverse communities.

What you will do:

1. Act as part of the final audit check on the deal before completion of payout.
2. Work to find solutions for non-standard deals that enable the successful completion of a file without increasing our risk.
3. Check files and make sure that all procedures and requirements associated with the payment of deals are fully met.
4. Create fans of customers, introducers, and colleagues by efficiently processing deals to a high level of payout accuracy from “sales support” through to “pay out”.
5. Make sure that all files are accurate and therefore maximize an efficient process of payments to Suppliers and Broker’s commissions.
6. Input and activate agreements into the IT platform.
7. Perform Ad-Hoc general duties associated with the business in an accurate and timely manner and in accordance with existing procedures.

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the ability to call out any concerns.

What you will need:

1. Good understanding of asset finance.
2. Experience in checking, processing, and paying out asset finance deals.
3. Knowledge of the industry standard documentation and the various associated risks.
4. Understanding of the UK Asset Finance market.
5. Be amazing at building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
6. Be efficient, highly accurate, and have a desire to deliver amazing customer service!
7. Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders.

Our promise to you…

1. We will make sure that you are well-rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts!
2. We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!).
3. We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
