Graduate Change Analyst

We’re DF Capital – a specialist bank providing award-winning commercial finance, retail finance, and savings products to consumers and small businesses.

Based in Manchester, we serve thousands of customers across the UK and into Europe, supporting their ambitions with tailored financial solutions.

We help our customers realise their ambitions by doing things differently – combining the agility and innovation of a specialist lender with the security and service standards of a regulated bank. Whether it’s flexible lending structures or straightforward savings options, we focus on what matters most to our customers.

In 2025, we launched DF Capital Retail Finance – a subsidiary of DF Capital Bank Limited – to offer specialist hire purchase solutions to retail customers.

Our goal is simple: to do the absolute best for our customers, our communities, and each other.

Your new role:

DF Capital is seeking two ambitious Graduate Change Analysts to join our Change Team and support the delivery of business, operational, regulatory and technology change across the Bank.

You will work closely with stakeholders across Commercial, Credit, Operations, Finance, Compliance, Risk, Technology and external suppliers, helping to deliver meaningful change that supports the Bank's strategic objectives and customer outcomes.
