Job Posting 19-Jul-2023, 9:45:07 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.

Department Overview
Our Division helps the Bank to make the best use of data and analytics to achieve that.

Pretty much everything the Bank does depends critically on the use of data and analytics, and the Bank has made our work a strategic priority.

We have support from the Governor down and across the Bank, and a big increase in funding.

As part of our team, you will contribute to outcomes of national importance today, while preparing the Bank to face the challenges of tomorrow.

We have lots of opportunities for people who want to grow. We are still a start-up: created two years ago, doubled in size last year, doubling again this year. We need people to contribute their ideas, be entrepreneurial, and take the lead on new areas of work.

You can gain broad exposure to the various parts of the Bank, giving you the option to move to other roles within the Bank in future.

We have a supportive culture that empowers people to be the best they can. This culture is reflected in staff survey results.
