Starling Bank

Join our team

We’re on a mission to radically reshape banking – and that starts with our brilliant team. We know that our bank is only as good as the people who build it. From customer support and engineering to marketing and business development, we’re proud to bring together people of all backgrounds and experiences who love working together to solve problems.

 

What to expect

As a diverse company, our benefits are designed with everyone in mind. Our Health Insurance is provided by Vitality, and Life Insurance with MetLife. Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offers 24/7 specialist support or structured counselling for those who want it. A number of our team are certified Mental Health First Aiders too.

Gain FlexiPoints on Perkbox each week. From cinema tickets to yoga classes, you can choose the best perks for you! We proudly offer a number of salary sacrifice benefits, such as our enhanced contributory pension, the cycle to work scheme, and season ticket loan schemes as well.

Take a break with 25 days of holiday, plus a day off for your birthday too. Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off! Bank Holidays are flexible, which means you can swap them for a date of your choice.

Our beautiful offices are carefully thought out, from standing desks to oat milk coffee machines and soundproof booths – however you work best, there’s something for everyone. We’ll ensure you have the right equipment needed when working from home too!

Creativity and collaboration

We’re growing fast – and no two days here at Starling are quite the same. We care about getting stuff done, not process, and our culture is decidedly entrepreneurial in spirit (you’ll be encouraged to pitch your ideas, however big or bold!). It’s a fast-paced, exciting and creative place to work where there’s plenty of collaboration and ownership of your own projects.

Great tech

As you’d expect from a technology company, we’ll make sure you have all the tools you need to get your job done – and that they’re the very best in the business. We work on MacBooks, Mac minis, Chromebooks, and you’ll receive anything else you might need on request.

An open approach

Lots of companies talk about transparency – but it’s something we really care about. We communicate and collaborate through Slack, including a channel dedicated to updates from our founder Anne and the leadership team.

 

A fintech with a banking licence

No boundaries; one team. We’re a bunch of techies, artists, marketers, customer advocates and supporters, UX specialists, ops people, and the people that do the all important risk, compliance and finance stuff.
