Payments & Cash Management — Operations Business Liaison

Edinburgh, Glasgow, United Kingdom | Posted on 08/12/2026

Instant payments went live across the euro area. ISO20022 replaced the old messaging. Every corporate bank now needsGerman-speaking people who can keep real-time payments clean under pressure —that's you.

We represent a range of corporate and institutional transaction-bankingemployers building out their payments operations right now, driven by the EUInstant Payments mandate and the market-wide move to ISO 20022. We're buildinga shortlist of senior payment-operations professionals who can sit between thepayment engine and the business — and we place them across onshore DACH, UKoperations hubs, and the nearshore centres (Poland, Portugal) where thesebanks run their payments operations.

Requirements

What you'd own....

• The operational point ofcontact between payment processing and the business — relationshipmanagers, product, and corporate clients — keeping communication accurateand calm when a high-value payment stalls.
  
• Payment investigationsand exception management across SEPA / SCT Inst, TARGET2 andcross-border rails, driven to resolution.
  
• Nostro reconciliationand end-to-end tracking with modern payment-traceability capability.
  
• The sanctions /transaction-screening interface, so control and client experience movetogether.
  
• Real-time exception and Verification-of-Payee handling on live instant rails, and the operational side of the ISO20022 (MX) transition.
  

What makes you a fit....

• Fluent German andEnglish — used daily across German-speaking clients and colleagues.
  
• Corporate or wholesale paymentoperations grounding in a bank or transaction-banking function.
  
• Practical fluency across SEPA, TARGET2 and SWIFT in both MT and MX (ISO 20022).
  
• A control mindset withgenuine client-facing confidence.
  

Nice to have — Eurozone clearing / instant-paymentinfrastructure exposure; corporate connectivity channels (e.g. EBICS); paymentinvestigations / case-management tooling.
