CHAPS Implementation Lead

Bank of London is one of only six UK clearing banks with direct access to the country's payment systems. Built on modern, cloud-native technology, we provide businesses with secure, API-driven banking that's fast, compliant, and built for growth. Our role is simple: help ambitious businesses turn their plans into reality by removing barriers and simplifying complexity. If you want to work where technology meets banking, where security comes first, and where your work directly enables business ambition, you're in the right place.

Office Location: London | Hybrid (3 days in office per week)

• You must have strong understanding and experience of the CHAPS scheme, ideally in a project leadership or senior delivery role
• You are comfortable working independently to shape gap analysis, programme design and implementation requirements, liaising with technical, operational and oversight teams as required
• You have excellent understanding of UK Banking and Payments, including key regulatory requirements in Risk Management, Governance, Operational Resilience and Supplier Management
• You are comfortable wearing multiple hats - from programme management to business analysis - and getting stuck into the detail where needed
• You bring a structured approach to your work, with clear communication style, early identification of risks and issues, and a pragmatic approach to problem solving

Bank of London has started the process to become a direct participant of the CHAPS payment scheme. We’re looking for an implementation lead who can design, initiate and lead the programme. You’ll use your previous experience of CHAPS and UK Banking to lead cross-functional gap analysis, identify delivery requirements and lead the implementation.

You’ll work closely with internal teams across the Bank – from senior management through to end-users – as well as liaising directly with the CHAPS onboarding team at the Bank of England.
