About the role

Original posting from Capital on Tap via Greenhouse

We’re Capital on Tap 👋

💳 Capital on Tap started because small businesses were underserved. Big banks were slow, their products weren't fit for purpose, and small business owners often couldn't access what they needed. We set out to fix that.

Today we're a financial platform - not just a credit card company. We offer a best-in-class business credit card, SME-focused spend management platform, a savings product that hit £1 billion in funds within its first year, and a growing suite of tools and financial products that make running a small business easier. 

1,000+ employees, £20bn in annual card spend, 200,000+ customers, 17,000+ Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.7 stars, and we're profitable. We’ve done a pretty good job so far, but we’re just getting started! 

📍 Cardiff | 🏢 Remote with flexibility to be in office when required. 

💸 Circa £34,000

Our Values & Culture 🌞

Just Pilot: We never settle for “good enough”. We pilot new ideas fast, ask questions to figure it out, and scale quickly.

Why Not Today? Fast is as slow as we go - speed and simplicity gives us a competitive advantage.

Be a Buddy: We tap in from day one to help the team, we do the right thing even if it’s hard.

Owners and Dates: We don’t chase people. If you own a task and agree to a date, the expectation is that it gets done.

Feedback: We want our employees to flourish, so we regularly provide direct and constructive feedback.
