Head of Marketing

A personal note from Roger Hattam, Chief Commercial Officer:

Thank you for considering a career with Triodos Bank UK. I genuinely believe we are at one of the most exciting points in our journey. For over 40 years, Triodos has demonstrated that banking can be a powerful force for positive social, environmental and cultural change.

Today, the opportunity ahead of us is even greater. More people than ever are looking for ways to align their money with their values, and we believe Triodos has a unique and compelling story to tell. We are entering a new phase of growth, focused on increasing awareness of our brand, sharing the impact created by our customers and investments more widely, and strengthening our position as the UK's leading impact bank.

What excites me most is that this growth is not about becoming bigger for its own sake. It is about extending our influence, helping more people use their money consciously, and proving that banking can deliver positive impact alongside commercial success.

The people who thrive at Triodos are those who combine capability with conviction. People who are ambitious, collaborative and motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through their work. If that sounds like you, I would encourage you to apply.

This is a rare opportunity to join an organisation with a clear sense of purpose and a genuine ambition to shape the future of banking in the UK. I hope you'll consider becoming part of that journey.
