Directorate
The Payments Directorate sits at the heart of the UK’s financial system, playing a critical role in delivering the Bank’s mission. We design and operate the Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) service and CHAPS, the UK’s high-value payment system. RTGS ultimately lies at the heart of every electronic payment in the UK and settles over £800 billion on an average working day.
The directorate leads on policy and innovation for our Payments services and helps shape the broader payments landscape, both domestically and internationally. Drawing on our expertise in innovation and delivery, we are now embarking on a programme to enhance the new RTGS 2 platform, enabling the UK financial sector to innovate while ensuring safe and efficient settlement in central bank money.
Our work connects us closely with many other areas of the Bank. As one of the most outward-facing and fast-paced directorates, we offer a dynamic and impactful environment to work in.
Role Overview
As a Payments Product Manager, you’ll be part of the Product Team, which looks after a suite of user-focused products and services supporting key operational and business processes. The team uses agile methodologies to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with user needs.
You’ll be part of the management team in Product – you’ll coach and lead a team of one or more Product Owners, empowering them to deliver their own roadmaps, whilst ensuring their roadmaps deliver against wider Directorate and Bank strategy. You’ll work closely with the Product Initiative team to explore and shape future backlog items whilst they are in an earlier stage of design.
Your team will represent user needs in the design, development, and delivery of the core settlement engine. This is a key part of the RTGS system – sitting across multiple services provided to our end users, including CHAPS payments and CREST settlement – and with an exciting backlog of future change – including introducing synchronisation (a new way of settling payments)

Our Approach to Inclusion
The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion. We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.
At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we're working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work. We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We believe that it’s by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we’ll continue to make the best decisions for the public.
We welcome applications from individuals who work flexibly, including job shares and part time working patterns. We've also partnered with external organisations to support us in making adjustments for candidates and employees in the recruitment process where they're needed.
For most roles where work can be carried out at home, we aim for colleagues to spend half of their time in the office, with a minimum of 40% per month. Subject to that minimum requirement, individuals and managers should work together to find what works best for them, their team and stakeholders.
Finally, we're proud to be a member of the Disability Confident Scheme. If you wish to apply under this scheme, you should check the box in the ‘Candidate Personal Information’ under the ‘Disability Confident Scheme’ section of the application.
