Senior Risk Manager

We are Recognise Bank; a modern business bank built to support the UK’s SMEs with tailored lending and savings solutions. Founded in 2017 by experienced business owners, we set out to challenge traditional banking by offering more flexibility, understanding, and practical support to help businesses thrive. Since receiving our banking licence in 2021, we’ve built a loyal customer base and a strong, diverse team that puts people first.

Our vision is building stronger futures with bespoke financial solutions. We understand that no two financial needs are the same, which is why we work closely with UK SMEs and individuals to unlock potential others often overlook. Through smart, flexible lending and savings products, we’re here to build and grow stronger futures for lasting success.

Our values shape how we work and grow together:

💪 Can do, will do: We take ownership, solve problems, and adapt as our customers’ needs evolve.

✨ Be brilliant: We show up with curiosity and energy, always striving for better.

🤝 Do the right thing: We act with integrity, responsibility, and care in everything we do.

💡Make a difference: We focus on impact, helping our customers, colleagues, and communities succeed.

As a Senior Risk Manager, you will provide independent second-line oversight of Finance and Treasury activities, ensuring robust management of liquidity, funding, capital and interest rate risk in the banking book. You will lead key elements of the Bank’s stress testing and scenario analysis framework, enhance risk data and reporting to support Executive and Board decision-making, and work closely with senior stakeholders to maintain a forward-looking, well-governed risk profile aligned with regulatory expectations and internal risk appetite.

At Recognise Bank, we're building more than a bank — we’re creating a culture where people feel empowered to make a difference 💡, supported to be brilliant ✨ with a can do will do attitude, and trusted to do the right thing 🤝.

We believe that when our people thrive, so do our customers. That’s why we invest in an environment that reflects our values and supports your growth, flexibility, and wellbeing.
