OakNorth is hiring a Team Assistant to work with our CEO and Co-Founder as we embark on the next phase of our company’s growth. The Team Assistant is an integral part of the CEO’s Office, reporting into the CEO, and working alongside the CEO’s Executive Assistant.
This is a unique role – requiring someone with great adaptability who can switch from administrative support to operational analyst, to research associate, to on-the-fly logistics execution. This role is an ideal next step for an overachieving administrative assistant looking to step up and take the next step in their career, or a hungry recent grad looking for experience running alongside a highly successful entrepreneur.
The key outcome for someone in this role is optimising for our CEO and Co-Founder so he can help grow and drive the business. Each day will be different: whether hustling to find a path into a new client, reshuffling the diary to ensure he’s focussed on the right things, pulling together a pack with the Chief of Staff for a new investor meeting, or solving complex cross-border travel problems – no one day will be the same.
This role requires someone who can think on their feet, highly responsive, and executes at pace while keeping a ‘steady hand’ on the controls.

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.
