Secondment TWC SF Onboarding

Join us on a Trade & Working Capital Sales Finance Onboarding secondment, where you will play a key role in enabling the growth of the Trade & Working Capital business by supporting the seamless onboarding of complex client transactions. You will work closely with Trade & Working Capital Sales, Relationship Managers, and multiple internal partners to deliver efficient, well‑governed onboarding solutions, while aligning with the firm’s risk appetite and control framework.

You will operate as a specialist onboarding partner, engaged where complexity increases — whether due to product structure, client profile, jurisdictional considerations, or delivery timelines. Partnering across Sales, Product, Client Lifecycle Management, Operations, Credit, Legal, Compliance and KYC teams, you will assess onboarding feasibility, identify risks and dependencies, and drive solutions through to implementation. This is a commercially aligned, enabling role, directly supporting deal execution rather than operating as a standalone control function.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• Previous experience within a client onboarding, client lifecycle, or implementation function, ideally supporting complex or wholesale clients.
• The ability to communicate effectively and professionally over the phone, engaging confidently with internal and external stakeholders.
• A sound understanding of risk management principles, including identification, escalation, and mitigation of onboarding‑related risks.
• A proactive and commercially minded approach, comfortable partnering with Sales to advance client transactions.
• Excellent prioritisation skills, able to manage multiple onboarding requests in a fast‑moving environment.

Desirable skills include:

• Effective communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate onboarding, operational and risk considerations in meetings and written correspondence.
• Knowledge or experience of invoiced accounting, receivables finance, or related working capital structures.
• Experience across Trade Finance, Working Capital, or Transaction Banking product sets.
• Background in Operations, Product, Risk, or Client Lifecycle Management roles supporting complex client structures.
• Experience working with cross‑border clients and international stakeholders.
• Exposure to process improvement or change initiatives within onboarding or client delivery functions.

You may be assessed on the key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, business acumen, strategic thinking, change and transformation, and communication, as well as job‑specific technical expertise.

This role is located in Fleet or London.
