Digital bank Starling is creating a further 150 jobs at its Cardiff operation - where it already employs more than 1,000. The fintech venture, which now has three million customers in the UK and is likely to float on the London Stock Exchange over the next two years, originally committed to creating 400 jobs when unveiling its office investment in the city – at Brunel House – back in 2020.
It is now recruiting for a further 150 staff, which will take the Cardiff operation to 1,200 employees - having already established itself as one of the city’s biggest private sector employers. It is creating mainly operational roles including those in customer service, customer acquisition, operations support, collections and financial crime. It is also looking to appoint tech engineers and data scientists. Starting salaries in operations are £24,500.
Head of talent acquisition at Starling Bank, Charlotte Richards, said: “Starling Bank has ambitious growth plans and we need outstanding talent to make that happen. We passed three million current accounts in June this year. This includes more than 460,000 small business accounts.
