Who we are
We’rebenefit the bank’s 15 million customers and beyond.
Because of what we do, we’re really neither corporate, nor startup – instead we’re happily navigating the space between both worlds. We're close enough to benefit from the bank’s strategy, scale, and stability, but separate enough that we have the autonomy to try new things.
What it’s like to work here
We’re a community of galvanisers, thinkers, and doers. We have a big, bold vision, which so far no-one has nailed (including us). That excites, rather than deters, us.
We never lose sight of the impact we can have on people’s lives, and the role that each of us plays in shaping the bank of the future. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and make time to connect to celebrate and grow our people.
At x15, we’re guided by three values: Care, courage, and commitment. And what does that mean? We’re aware, attuned, and always act to help our people and our customers. We’re more than just job titles and we don’t hide the human stuff. We lead with grit and grace and do what's right – even if it's hard. And, whatever happens, we always find a way.
Role Overview
This opportunity is for a dynamic and experienced leader to take ownership of the accreditation stream within x15’s digital identity initiatives. The Senior Manager, Digital Trust & Accreditation is a 1st line delivery role, accountable for achieving and maintaining scheme and regulatory accreditation across our digital identity services.
The role is both strategic and hands-on—leading end-to-end accreditation planning and execution, embedding compliance requirements into service design and delivery, and ensuring alignment with Group risk appetite through close collaboration with 2nd Line Risk and Compliance.

This includes privacy and fraud assessments, breach response planning, security and accessibility evaluations, biometric and identity proofing documentation, authentication and cryptographic key management, and system design.
- Oversee and ensure required controls are implemented, documented and traceable
- Oversee and manage all specified technical testing requirements, including engaging with stakeholders and independent assessors to complete assurance and systems testing, ensuring traceability to system requirements, applying a risk-based methodology, and delivering validated results aligned to completion criteria.
