Starling Bank has announced plans to hire up to 1,000 people as it opens its fourth UK office in Manchester.
The bank said that it is recruiting across a number of roles, including operations; software engineering; data science; cyber security; and customer service.
“What better place to set-up shop than in Manchester?” said Anne Boden, founder and chief executive, Starling Bank. “As the world’s first industrial city, with three brilliant universities on its doorstep and a thriving technology scene, there was never any doubt that Manchester would house our first step into the North.”
The move comes after the bank announced its first full year of profitability.
The lender also reached its three million account milestone in 2022.
The challenger bank says it has chosen Manchester because of its "deep pool of tech talent and rich cultural and creative heritage.
The central Manchester base is set to open in the first few months of 2023.
Susanna Yallop, chief people officer at Starling Bank said: “We’ve expanded our headcount by 20 per cent this year and only continue to grow. Our sights are now firmly set on Manchester, where we can draw from its potential workforce of more than seven million, allowing us to grow our headcount even further with some of the North’s finest talent.”
