Not just responded positively, but also very, very quickly. Executed in a timely manner, which was important to us, and got everyone across the line and all the paperwork signed and sealed very promptly.

Alba Bank, Client

'Daniel has a genuine sense of care when it comes to working with us. I feel he always gives it his all for both SJP as a client, but also for his candidates. He clearly screens candidates well and has the courage to push back and challenge us as a client when he feels just, with many occasions his challenge being correct. Thank you Daniel for your effort and your knowledge and insight into the market too'.

Strategic Hiring Partnership with AMINA Bank

What distinguishes Callum and the Broadgate team is their ability to identify candidates who are not only technically strong but also well aligned with the demands of operating at the intersection of regulated banking and digital assets. That nuance is critical in our environment and comes from sustained, hands-on exposure to the organisation and its leadership.'

Identify the most critical vulnerabilities, emerging threat vectors, and areas of elevated risk. Propose a clear, prioritized mitigation roadmap based on findings. Acquisition fraud reduction Design and launch controlled experiments to reduce early-stage fraud (e.g., first-payment default) with minimal impact to approval rates and growth. Cap unmitigated fraud risk Implement controls that materially reduce the risk of large-scale, unmitigated acquisition or transactional fraud attacks. This is the most critical outcome of the role and requires a proactive, prevention-first mindset. Professionalize fraud operations Build repeatable intelligence and decision-making from manual fraud reviews. Establish feedback loops leveraging a combination of human judgment, automation, and AI-driven tools. Role Scope & Seniority No strict years-of-experience requirement; however, candidates are typically expected to have ~6–12 years of relevant experience to meet the scope and compensation expectations. This is a senior individual contributor role. Impact is expected to be scaled primarily through analysis, tooling, code, and automation rather than people management. Opportunities to build and lead a team may emerge based on demonstrated outcomes and business needs.
