Hello, we’re Starling.
Banking was broken – so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values. All at the tap of a phone, all the time. We built Britain’s first digital bank. One hard-won banking licence later, we set about giving people a new way to spend, save and manage their money (and take better care of the planet, too). We’re changing banking for good. Back then, we were obsessed with unravelling the knotty world of finance and solving people’s problems rather than selling them stuff. We still are.
Since then, we’ve grown. A lot. Over four million accounts (and four account types!). A team of thousands. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester and Southampton. Seven years voted Which? Recommended Provider and Britain's Best Banking Brand. Still zero branches. Our culture is open, inclusive and focused on solving real customer problems, with an emphasis on doing the right thing, even when it’s not always the easy thing. From our approach to working together and sustainability to how we build our products, our decisions need to make the world – and Starling – a better place to be. Everyone at Starling is essential to our mission, which is really quite simple: to solve our customer’s problems – and build the best bank in the world!
And now we're providing Starling to other banks, via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) proposition through our subsidiary Engine, using the proprietary technology platform that it uses to power our own bank.
The Head of Talent Development is a pivotal strategic and operational role responsible for delivering leadership development and enterprise development across Starling.
As we scale, the talent development function is transitioning and we want to grow leaders and colleagues at all levels. We are embarking on a culture change to enable sustainable people growth and business performance. Leaders are expected to develop both the mindset and skillset to drive this, and all colleagues are expected to own their career growth, supported by the leaders.
You will be responsible for the full talent development function. You will be directly involved with designing and delivering leadership development initiatives to enable the culture change, and you will oversee the work by the Enterprise talent development team to ensure a ‘golden thread’ of consistency through-out our talent development initiatives. You will own the overall strategy and delivery and will enable the transformation through technology including AI, and a mix of internal & external people.
