Since our launch in 2015, we’ve lent over £10bn to ambitious entrepreneurs up and down the UK. That’s led to the creation of over 40,000 new jobs and over 29,000 new homes – and we’re not about to stop there. We’re dedicated to helping trailblazing businesses thrive and our Legal team are the drivers of our growth.

As Senior Executive in the Transactional Execution Team (TET), you will play a pivotal role in supporting the end-to-end execution of lending transactions. The role involves working closely with deal teams, legal counsel, credit, and external stakeholders to ensure timely and accurate deal closing, documentation, and post-sanction execution.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced, growing bank with a reputation for doing things differently.

We don’t want another cog in the machine; we’re looking for self-starters and bold thinkers who want to pave their own career paths.

Our story:

OakNorth Bank was built on the foundations of frustrations with old-school banking. In 2005, when our founders tried to get capital for their data analytics company, the computer said ‘no’. Unfortunately, all major banks in the UK were using the same computer – and it was broken.

Why was it so difficult for a profitable business with impressive cashflow, retained clients, and clear commercial success to get a loan?

The industry was backward-looking and too focused on historic financials, rather than future potential.

So, what if there was a bank, founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs? One that offered a dramatically better borrowing experience for businesses?

No more what ifs, OakNorth Bank exists.
