At OakNorth, we're on a mission to empower ambitious businesses and the communities they serve. Since 2015, we've lent over $21 billion across the UK and US, helped create more than 58,000 new homes and 36,000 new jobs, and supported hundreds of thousands of personal savers — all while driving economic growth in the markets we serve.

 

 

OakNorth has over 200 applications in use across the business, AI is changing the tooling landscape rapidly, and we’re building the structure to ensure wemake sensible, well-governed choices about the tools we invest in, without slowing anyone down.
We’re an AI-native bank. Our teams use AI tools as standard, but as AI capabilities multiply, so does the risk of sprawl, duplication, and ungoverned adoption. We need someone to ensure that the platform underneath all of this incoherent, well-managed, and enabling teams to move faster, not creating friction.

Today, tool adoption happens organically: teams procure independently, capabilities overlap, and there’s limited visibility into what exists across the organisation. We’re building a Platform & Tool Enablement function to fix that. Not by adding gates, but by creating the guardrails that help teams move faster and smarter — with AI-native tools at the centre of how we evaluate, adopt, and govern our technology landscape.

As our Tech Product Platform Manager, you’ll sit within the Platform team and down the product strategy for how OakNorth discovers, evaluates, governs, and supports its tools and platforms. You’ll build the triage and assessment framework that sits upstream of formal Change Management Group (CMG)submissions, create the capability map of our technology landscape, and design the simplified submission process that unifies how we handle both new tool procurement and changes to existing tools — all through the lens of an organization where AI is a first-class participant in how work gets done.
