Metro Bank (UK)
We believe that people come first, and that everyone deserves a great experience every step of the way – whether it’s face to face, through our telephony service, online, or on our app. We’ve built a different kind of high street bank. A bank with stores that are open when it suits you, 7 days a week. A bank where you can walk in without an appointment and walk out with a working account, debit card and all. A bank that tells you exactly what you’re getting, in language that actually makes sense. A bank that puts you first.
Our IT function is integral in delivering systems, workflows and software across all parts of the Bank. Whichever part of the lifecycle this role belongs to, building or maintaining the solutions, you will find it plays a key contribution in enabling us to continue creating fans.
Most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid / remote working. Ask your recruiter for more details.
So what would you be doing?…
- Working with the Digital Delivery Manager, Digital Propositions SME’s and Leads and Information Technology to deliver end-to-end change outcomes through Discovery, Design, Build, Test and Deployment activities
- Developing a robust and flexible enterprise platform to develop the best Mobile Application that the banking industry has seen
- Designing reusable components that support a fast and dynamic growth
- Be a role model through the delivery of all change projects in the Bank and take personal accountability for delivering change that positively impacts our customers
You need to be this kind of person…
- Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
- Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
- Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
- Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do
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 courage to call out any concerns.
We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things…
- Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
- Object Oriented Analysis and Design
- Native Mobile Development on Android
- Test Driven Development
- Automation Testing
- Degree level education in Information Technology, Systems Development or Computer Science
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!
