Job Description

Join one of the UK's most ambitious challenger banks and help power the engine room of our growth. Since 2015, OakNorth has lent over 10bn to ambitious entrepreneurs, helping create 40,000+ jobs and 29,000+ new homes. Our mission is simple: to enable the UK's most innovative businesses to thrive and that starts with world-class cash and treasury operations.
We're looking for a detail-driven, proactive, and curious analyst to join our Manchester-based Cash & Treasury Operations team. If you love problem-solving, keeping things running smoothly, and working in a fast-paced environment where accuracy matters, this is the role for you. This is an entry-level role for someone who loves numbers, thrives on detail, and wants to learn how money actually moves through a bank. You'll learn how to manage cash positions, run reconciliations, verify payments, and make sure funds land exactly where they should, when they should.

What you'll do

You'll learn, then own:
Processing GBP/USD payments across multiple schemes
Managing daily cash balances to ensure liquidity is correct
Reconciling transactions across systems + accounts and investigating differences
Supporting post-trade activities and settlements
Contributing to AML monitoring and savings operations workflows
Working across Manchester, London and India teams to resolve issues
Spotting and documenting smarter ways of working

What we're really looking for

The ideal candidate doesn't necessarily require operational experience, however we're looking for someone with potential and the discipline to handle precision:
A sharp analytical mindset
Comfortable with numbers, patterns, and problem solving
Confident communicator who isn't afraid to ask questions
Pride in accuracy and owning outcomes
A degree with a numerical and analytical foundation strongly preferred
If you're obsessed with getting small details right, this is the place to apply it

Where this role can take you

If you're good, you'll move fast. Top performers progress into senior operations, treasury, or finance roles.
We'll invest in your learning but you need to show up hungry

Why OakNorth

We're not another big bank. We move fast, we think differently, and we believe in ownership. You'll work alongside entrepreneurial minds who want to build something better and you'll have a stake in our success.

Perks & Benefits:

Equity - own a piece of what you help build.
25 days holiday
Paid volunteering days.
Regular social and community events.
