Hybrid Lending Operations Consultant en Recognise Bank

We are Recognise Bank; a modern business bank built to support the UK’s SMEs with tailored lending and savings solutions.

Founded in 2017 by experienced business owners, we set out to challenge traditional banking by offering more flexibility, understanding, and practical support to help businesses thrive. Since receiving our banking licence in 2021, we’ve built a loyal customer base and a strong, diverse team that puts people first.

Our vision is building stronger futures with bespoke financial solutions. We understand that no two financial needs are the same, which is why we work closely with UK SMEs and individuals to unlock potential others often overlook. Through smart, flexible lending and savings products, we’re here to build and grow stronger futures for lasting success.

Our values shape how we work and grow together:

💪 Can do, will do: We take ownership, solve problems, and adapt as our customers’ needs evolve.

✨ Be brilliant: We show up with curiosity and energy, always striving for better.

🤝 Do the right thing: We act with integrity, responsibility, and care in everything we do.

💡Make a difference: We focus on impact, helping our customers, colleagues, and communities succeed

As a contract-based Lending Operations Consultant, you will spearhead a deep‑dive review of the end‑to‑end lending lifecycle—particularly in bridging finance—identifying inefficiencies and enhancements. You’ll map existing workflows, assess system usage, and deliver data‑driven recommendations to streamline processes and accelerate time to drawdown. Partnering closely with lending managers, credit, operations, and transformation teams, you’ll provide recommendations for the operational team structure, improved processes, system inputs and outputs, roles and responsibilities, and an implementation roadmap to ensure the lending operations function is efficient, scalable, and fully aligned with business objectives and regulatory requirements

At Recognise Bank, we're building more than a bank — we’re creating a culture where people feel empowered to make a difference 💡, supported to be brilliant ✨ with a can do will do attitude, and trusted to do the right thing 🤝.

We believe that when our people thrive, so do our customers. That’s why we invest in an environment that reflects our values and supports your growth, flexibility, and wellbeing.

If you're curious, driven, and ready to be part of something meaningful — where your ideas matter, your growth is supported, and your work makes a real impact — then we’d love to hear from you.
