Hi, we’re Griffin! We’re the bank for companies who want to build and launch financial products. We're rapidly heading towards a future where most of us access financial services through technology companies rather than high street banks. All sorts of companies are now embedding financial products into their apps and user journeys so that their customers can seamlessly make payments, manage expenses, take out loans, save, invest, and do more. The problem is that companies are still dependent on legacy banking infrastructure if they want to offer regulated financial products. They need to either partner directly with an incumbent bank and/or stitch together middleware from various Banking as a Service (BaaS) providers. This process is slow, expensive, and complex and makes it very hard for companies to get new financial products off the ground. At Griffin, we want to change this. We want to make it easy for companies to bring finance to their customers at the point of greatest relevance. So, we built a bank. But not just any bank! Griffin is a technology platform and a bank: fully regulated, API-first, developer-centric, and purpose-built to serve innovative fintechs and brands who want to build and embed financial products. _ Our culture is our most important asset, and one of the ways we safeguard it is by being extremely intentional about hiring the right people. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. We also believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. That’s why we’re transparent by default, and we encourage open discussion and challenge across all levels of the organisation. We’re also remote-first, asynchronous, and fully flexible - because you're the expert on how and when you do your best work. _ Our Risk and Compliance team keeps Griffin compliant, protected and moving quickly and like most of the company, we are growing fast. Governance sits at the heart of what we do: we take it seriously, build it properly, and treat it as a foundation for everything else. This role sits at the centre of that and you'll be the person who makes things happen. Reporting to our Head of Compliance, you'll own our company secretarial function end to end, creating structure, clarity, and confidence at Board level. You’ll be a trusted point of contact for the Board, our iNEDs, and senior stakeholders across the business and operating at the heart of decision-making and helping shape how we scale. You will also have the opportunity to support the legal team with paralegal work (contracts negotiation, NDAs, legal research, and more). In your first few months, you will have taken full ownership of the board and committee cycle. Papers go out on time, minutes are turned around promptly, and actions are tracked and closed without anyone having to chase you. You will be the go to person for the share options scheme, built strong relationships with our external advisers, and created systems that scale as Griffin grows. Beyond that, senior leadership are spending less time on governance administration because you have made the process seamless. The Board and iNEDs know who you are and trust you to keep things moving. You are a go-to person for governance questions across the business. The full board and committee cycle (scheduling, papers, minutes, and action tracking) across the Board, BAC, BRC, P&G, Exco, and internal committees.
