Starling is the UK’s first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking with more than 3,000 people in our UK offices and 4 MILLION customers in the UK! 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. Now we present… Engine by Starling.

Engine by Starling is Starling’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and over a year ago we split out as a separate business. We are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.

This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.

The way to thrive and shine within Engine is to be a self-driven individual and be able to take full ownership of everything around you: From building things, designing, and discovering to sharing knowledge with your colleagues and making sure all processes are efficient and productive to deliver the best possible results for our customers. Our purpose is underpinned by five values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness.

What you'll get to do:

• Supporting early stage conversations, running client workshops and demos, helping to identify and qualify genuine opportunities.
• Contributing to marketing activities and conferences, elevating the awareness and understanding of Engine’s brand and proposition in the market, ensuring that we build a reputation based on trust and excellence.
• Fostering and maintaining strong relationships with our implementation partners, driving collaborative business development activities and go-to-market strategies.
• Taking ownership of selected strategic opportunities. Being the client’s advocate throughout, building a dialogue and trusted relationship with them, and understanding their strategic vision, issues and needs.

• Managing commercial and contractual conversations.
• Working with our client solutions teams through the Discovery and Delivery phases providing client relationship and commercial support
• Helping clients to understand how Engine can address their issues, through dialogue and through structured analysis and presentations.

We want to develop future leaders by giving people the opportunity to move between teams and build experience in a variety of roles, in business development, product management, delivery and engineering. At the same time we are expanding internationally and establishing regional offices in key markets around the world. We expect that, after an initial period in Business Development, you will have the option (but not the obligation) to move to a new role, either in a different function, or in a different part of the world.
