Job Posting 02-Feb-2023, 7:39:35 AM

The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people.

The Bank of England is a diverse organisation.

Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

Banking, Payments and Innovation Directorate supports the Bank's mission to maintain monetary and financial stability by using and sharing its expertise to: develop and operate resilient and efficient banking, payment and custody services; set and influence policy; and to promote innovation.

We are at the heart of the Bank both in terms of our core role in Monetary and Financial Stability, and the wide range of internal stakeholders we collaborate with.

BPI has a lead role in one and a significant role in four of the Bank's strategic priorities.

The variety and immediacy of the work we do means we are one of the most outward facing and fast moving areas of the Bank, operating the UK's high value payments system (the Real Time Gross Settlement System and CHAPS), maintaining the Bank's readiness to provide Emergency Liquidity Assistance to banks and other financial institutions, and acting as the 'bank' within the Bank of England for government, UK CCPs and other central banks.

Department Overview

The Payment Systems and Communications team within the Markets Services Division (part of BPI) provides operational services to internal and external stakeholders to support the Bank's core purposes through developing and operating the RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) system.

The RTGS service supports accounts for banks, building societies, financial market infrastructures, and most recently, non-bank payment service providers, and provides sterling settlement services for Bacs, CHAPS, ICS (cheque clearing), CREST, Faster Payments (FPS), LINK, Visa and Mastercard.

We have a dynamic team operating both remotely and when onsite, across two locations in the City of London and Essex.

Our team's primary responsibility is running RTGS, which lies at the heart of UK payment and settlement infrastructure.

The role of the team is very high profile since the reliability and resilience of RTGS is essential for the monetary and financial stability of the UK.

There is a good mix of operational work providing opportunities for you to handle a variety of responsibilities, attending internal and external meetings and collaborating closely with diverse stakeholders.

This is an excellent chance to experience these opportunities in a critical team with the potential for long-term career prospects.
