About Griffin Hi, we’re Griffin. We’re a fully regulated UK bank that powers the accounts and payments offerings of product-led fintechs and platforms like Uber, Yonder, Prosper, and Sidekick. By doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, our customers can focus on what they do best - delivering amazing customer experiences. We’ve grown rapidly since our launch in 2024, and today provide the banking backbone behind products in remittance, payroll, wealth, insurance, proptech, payments, neobanking and more. We’re moving into card issuing, stablecoin infrastructure, and agentic finance next as we continue to support the next generation of product-led companies. Learn more about what we do Our culture We believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments and have done our best to create such an environment at Griffin. People who thrive here don’t require much hand-holding, and go out of their way to figure out how to contribute in the most valuable way possible. We've been remote-first since we were established in 2017 and we remain so today. Work here is asynchronous and fully flexible - because we want to be a part of your life in a way that helps you to get the most out of both your work and home life. We understand that our culture and ways of working aren’t for everyone, and we’re very intentional about our hiring process as a result. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. Our strong culture has helped us to remain a mission-driven company as we have scaled, and gives our people a clear, explicit operating framework and the space to focus on delivering real value for our customers.

We strive to bring the best in technology, user experience and banking to the embedded finance space and be the bank for fintechs and corporates to build on. We’re 10 people across Commercial, Customers Success and Marketing, led by Phoebe, our Chief Revenue Officer and we’re currently focused on winning new businesses and selecting the right customers to partner with for long term mutual success.

What success looks like Within 12 months, you’ll have built a pipeline you sourced yourself, with deals that are bigger and more structured as you go. Prospects’ CFOs and CTOs will trust you to explain how it all works, and Legal, Compliance and Product will bring you in early on every non-standard deal. To do this you’ll own • Your pipeline, from first lead to signed commercial terms, including sourcing your own leads alongside whatever SDRs and marketing bring in • Whiteboard sessions on account structures, and the technical proposal content, which you’ll write yourself • Pricing and commercial structures for complex accounts, such as consumption-based or bundled models, tiered volume and transfer pricing, built with RevOps and Finance • Regulatory and compliance questions, answered before they turn into objections • Commercial and technical arrangements for non-standard clie
