MyBnk are a charity which successfully addresses the building of financial capability. They live their values: it's all about young people and making a difference for them and they appreciate that money is too important to be left to chance.

Good financial capability breeds better financial outcomes, opportunities and wellbeing. Money worries and debts can cause hardship and stress, potentially leading to family and health issues for the individual and a cost to society.

They build financial capability early and at key transitional moments, addressing mind-sets, attitudes and behaviours to help young people form an understanding of the wider world of money and they can strongly evidence the positive impact on participants of their programmes.

They are also now at an exciting stage in their development. The role of Commercial Director offers a unique opportunity to drive revenue growth, with an ambition to double income over the next three years, to 3 million per annum, and to shape the strategic direction of MyBnk.

Their expectations are high. As their new Commercial Director, you will bring vision, experience and the required energy to ensure that MyBnk is able to achieve a significant growth in income and remains sustainable for the benefit of the young people and you will:.

  • Be ready to take on a big new challenge as an agent of change. You will be part of or looking to transition to senior leadership. You will be inclusive and enabling of your colleagues;
