Overview
Hello, we’re Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We’re a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We’re a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone. We employ more than 3,000 people across our London, Southampton, Cardiff and Manchester offices.
The role:
Team Leads are critical to the success of our Onboarding Operations department. As a Team leader, you’ll inspire and motivate your team to give the best service to our customers. Leading from the front, you’ll showcase your finely tuned customer service skills on a daily basis. Not only that, we’ll be looking to you to share solutions that will make our’s, and our customers’ lives, better.
Everyone at Starling gets the chance to own interesting things from day one, and we’re told one of the best things about working here is the ability to achieve a lot in a short space of time.
We enable our customers to manage their money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whenever they need us, we will be there. At the moment our priority is fulfilling as many full-time shift patterns as possible. As such, we are looking for people who can commit to 37.5 hours a week (5 x 7.5 hour shifts between Monday – Sunday), usually between 8am & 8pm.
The Onboarding Periodic Review Team Lead is a new position within our wider Customer Onboarding team.
