Starling · London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-09
Workplace: hybrid
Department: Business Development
At Engine by Starling, we are on a mission to find and work with leading banks all around the world who have the ambition to build rapid growth businesses, on our technology.
Engine is Starling's software-as-a-service (SaaS) business, the technology that was built to power Starling, and two years ago we split out as a separate business.
Starling has seen exceptional growth and success, and a large part of that is down to the fact that we have built our own modern technology from the ground up. This SaaS technology platform is now available to banks and financial institutions all around the world, enabling them to benefit from the innovative digital features, and efficient back-office processes that has helped achieve Starling's success.
We draw upon our experience as knowledgeable bankers, and best in class technologists to become the chosen option for these banks, and preferred partners for leading consultancies.
As a company, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves to help deliver great outcomes for our clients. We are an engineering-led company and we’re looking for someone who will be excited by the potential for Engine’s technology to transform banking in different markets around the world.
Hybrid Working
We have a hybrid approach to working here at Engine - our preference is that you're located within a commutable distance of our London office so that we're able to interact and collaborate in person. We don't like to mandate how much you visit the office and work from home, that's to be agreed upon between you and your line manager.
Role Purpose
Supporting the Business Development team, the purpose of this role is to support the wider sales team on winning new business, co-ordinating day-to-day with other business functions in the formatting of sales bids and collateral and helping to manage Hubspot across a global team, reporting into the EMEA Regional Director.
In this role, your time will primarily be split between supporting high-priority outcomes from the new sales process and managing day-to-day operations across HubSpot and internal communication channels

Mobile banking for personal and business
Starling Bank is a digital bank in the UK offering personal and business current accounts through a mobile app. For individuals, it provides features like instant spending notifications, insights, and Spaces (pots) to separate money. For businesses, it offers business accounts with invoicing and accounting integrations. The app handles account management, payments, and budgeting in one place, with transactions processed online and via card payments. The bank earns revenue from card interchange fees, interest on balances held with the central bank, and lending (such as personal loans and overdrafts). Its approach combines mobile-first banking with a broad set of services in a single app, differentiating itself through the Spaces budgeting tool, real-time transaction insights, and a strong focus on both personal and business banking. Starling’s goal is to grow its customer base while expanding its lending portfolio and offering a complete digital banking experience in the UK.
