OakNorth is a profitable business that has supported the growth of thousands of entrepreneurs with a new standard of business lending.

- Work well cross-functionally and earn trust from co-workers at all levels

- Care deeply about coaching and growing your colleagues

- Prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones

- Enjoy working with a diverse group of people with different areas of expertise.

- You challenge the existing approach when you see the cliff edge racing towards us, but also get on board once the options have been debated and the team has made a decision

- You're comfortably organised amongst chaos

- You're a broad thinker and have the capability to see the potential impact of decisions across the wider business
