Thank you
My day-to-day consists of a variety of tasks, mainly conducting background checks on new and exisiting employees going to client projects. Between liaising with 3rd party background check providers to running criminal checks for new hires, no two days are the same. There is a lot of attention to detail required for this role, which I thoroughly enjoy. Everyone in the team knows I like to make sure things are done a certain way! As some of the work we do is sent to client for review we must ensure that it is up to standard, as it is not only a representation of the team but of First Derivative as a whole.
Other aspects of my role consist of communicating with stakeholders and addressing queries the business might have. A lot of my day is providing feedback to the business on the progress of candidates screening. This allows them to feed this back to the client and ensure they are being kept in the loop of any updates and to keep on track with our turnaround times.
I think one of the things that people would be interested to know is that being a part of the screening team means keeping up to date with constant changes in laws, regulations and best practices to any pre-employment screening to ensure complete compliance. This not only goes for the UK & Ireland but for any country we have employees/clients in.
The thing that sets First Derivative apart from its competitors is the people. It's great being part of a company where you are supported both inside and outside of your team. Having a strong leadership team that values and prioritises their employees wellbeing and career progression is extremely inspiring.
There is a very caring company culture within First Derivative, they put their people first. We have an extremely supportive work environment that I believe promotes teamwork, collaboration and mutual support among teams. I believe it also allows our employees to feel safe, supported & respected.
Finally, we have a great wealth of knowledge within First Derivative. Specifically looking at the People team, we consist of employees from many different professional backgrounds who have unique skills and experiences. This diversity of perspectives allows for richer discussions, more creative problem-solving and greater collaboration.
I think the most rewarding part of my role is understanding that running background checks and screening candidates ensures a safe and secure work environment, not only for my colleagues but for the company as a whole. Meticulously researching and verifying candidates' backgrounds plays a vital role in identifying any potential red flags or discrepancies that could pose a potential risk to the business. Knowing that this thoroughness and attention to detail help prevent potential issues such as fraud or misconduct is extremely rewarding. Providing accurate and reliable information to the wider business also allows them to make informed decisions that contributes to the success and reputation of the company. There is a sense of responsibility and trust that ensures we are being compliant and mitigating risk.

“I was ready for a change and felt that First Derivative were the right choice. First Derivative offers the opportunity to work alongside and learn from industry SMEs and gain experience across a broad network of clients. A real stand out for me is the relationship First Derivative has with the clients they serve. There is a real focus on collaboration, finding solutions for future success and ongoing partnership.”
“Client Lifecycle Management is a key area for First Derivative. We have a team of skilled operational delivery staff, offering our clients the ability to deliver complex, scalable regulatory operations and programmes of work across our global network. Our SMEs support our global client base across the multiple aspects of Client Lifecycle Management: Client Onboarding, AML Remediations, Transaction Monitoring, Client Outreach, KYC Refresh, Customer Re-papering, Screening, Contract Reviews.”
“It is, and that keeps it interesting. Covering multiple disciplines means we can support our clients holistically, offering recommendations for continuous improvement and forward planning as we understand the upstream and downstream benefits. From a First Derivative perspective, it means our teams understand the end-to-end process of the client journey and can build specialisms in key areas. We have SMEs in each offering, which is invaluable to our clients.”
“There are a few key areas for continued focus, however they all come under one umbrella – the customer journey. Ultimately the financial service provider wants their customers to have confidence in them, be able to do business easily and with minimum fuss. At the same time, they need to ensure they are compliant with the various regulatory frameworks. First Derivative support our global client base in those efforts. We work collaboratively with our clients, providing honest feedback and suggestions to enhance existing processes. We provide detailed metrics on project progression against target operating models, highlighting potential breaks in processes, bottlenecks in the workflow and working with the client to streamline and improve processes.”
“Seeing the analysts become more confident in themselves and their abilities is without doubt a huge win for me. I have team leads within my current project who had no experience in compiling a metric pack. Now, not only are they collating metrics packs, they are presenting these for discussion with senior stakeholders and holding their own in the room with MLROS, heads of business, and their peers. Within First Derivative, we nurture our staff and encourage them in their careers, to see that in practice is incredibly rewarding.”

That I can make an impact on many things in the company and participate in various initiatives. I have never heard “no” to any proposed idea. Some initiatives take time, some are not directly related to software, I really enjoy the feeling of immersion.
Since the day you join First Derivative, everything is great and they help you become your best! The sky’s the limit? At First Derivative there are no limits. First Derivative helped me improve my skills from the very beginning, offering state-of-the-art technology that you can toy around with in order to learn. You can choose from AWS, Azure or Google, latest JAVA, C# or TypeScript (and many more) internal projects.
That doesn’t happen as there is several internal projects differing in technology stack and goals. For example, right now I’m creating a proof-of-concept piece related to data processing with GCP. They offer fantastic solutions.
If I were to follow a trend in C#, I’d bet on Unity and its AR/VR as there’s lots of space for new software. The market needs games that are both enjoyable and playable. In addition, it needs apps to be useful and convenient, and hardware that’s ergonomic. I own Meta Quest and it’s amazing, however I would like to see more games on PC and other platforms. I can’t wait to see people using AR in public like they’re using smartphones now, so that no one is surprised of such sights. This universe is limitless.

“Small is big – Organizations are seeing value in small focused agile delivery teams instead of large teams under layers of management, similar to our First Derivative pods model. Platform mindset – Our clients in Capital Markets are approaching solutions with a Platform Mindset, one that moves away from vertical silos which limits opportunities/value to a horizontal integrated platform centric mindset that benefits cost/opportunities and value.

“When my colleague recommended First Derivative to me, I was a little sceptical at first. The company is new in the Polish market and is relatively unknown to most developers, despite being recognised internationally as the world’s largest dedicated capital markets consulting firm. What convinced me was the fact that I would have the opportunity to collaborate with several very experienced colleagues, giving me a perfect opportunity to refresh and expand my knowledge in the field of latest technologies, cloud and containerization. The company is people-focused, constantly pushing its employees to grow, learn and share.”
“When I joined First Derivative, I was positively surprised at how much the company feels like a small family. Everyday in the morning, we would join a “coffee” MS Teams meeting to share interesting news, technical etc with workmates, provoking intense discussions and helping us bond. I found that particularly helpful now in the post-pandemic era of working from home, when it is easy to feel isolated and driven to concentrate only on technical tasks at hand instead of the people.”
“I would recommend joining First Derivative to anyone who is interested in the banking sector and wants to have an opportunity to collaborate with the world’s largest financial institutions. First Derivative offers competitive compensation, good work benefits, work-life balance and ample training & certification possibilities. Furthermore, the company is large and renowned globally and still relatively small and start-up-like locally in Poland, which combines into a truly unique feel overall.”

“Periodically, the Financial Services industry undergoes significant shifts that shape the strategic agenda. This year, we are witnessing the usual factors driving the need for change, such as new regulatory obligations like T+1 Settlements (somewhat atypical), evolving customer demands, and the emergence of digital challengers. However, in 2023, we have a unique opportunity for enterprise-wide transformation, thanks to the technological advancements in artificial intelligence.”
“We are in an era where banking clients expect more from their providers. The strategic focus has rightly shifted to adopting a client-centric approach. A crucial aspect of achieving this approach is gaining a deep understanding of client needs, preferences, and expectations. To develop this understanding, banks will leverage generative artificial intelligence (#GenAI) to derive valuable insights from their data. However, this comes with challenges, as the data used to train Al models must be cleaned, maintained, and governed. Additionally, regulatory obligations will arise, necessitating effective planning. Certain institutions will emerge as leaders, delivering hyper-personalized experiences that meet or even exceed evolving customer demands.”
“In the pursuit of client centricity, we begin by understanding the client’s key business objectives. With this understanding, we explore the role that technologies (like Al) can play in the solution. It’s crucial to avoid treating technology as a silver bullet, especially in the case of #GenAl, given the increased awareness gained from accessible tools like ChatGPT. Client centricity is an enterprise-wide challenge that encompasses a bank’s functions, inclusive of onboarding, sales, AML, KYC, and regulatory reporting. Therefore, a proof-of-concept approach is ideal. First Derivative collaborates with clients to identify high-value use cases where technology can contribute and through the delivery of a proof-of-concept we are able to test hypotheses and incrementally deliver on those key business objectives.”

“Our industry is awash with firms who charge a fortune for delivering PowerPoints and not much else; or firms who under-value their people and expect daily micro-management. When I see how these firms operate, I am reminded of the dystopian cry, “I am not a number, I am a human being!”. The personality of a firm is extremely important and at First Derivative, we like people who have opinions and aren’t scared to voice them.”
“We create and implement modern technology platforms. We design and deliver solutions which work in real time, are beautiful to use and easy to change. The engineering division is a global team which works hand in hand with our consulting and managed services teams. Our combination of flexibility and expertise works for our clients and creates opportunities for our people.
“That is true of retail financial services where many firms are, for example, still operating on mainframes. However the capital markets have typically led the way in investment in technology. Whilst this was interrupted in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, from a technology investment perspective, we are through that now and First Derivative are delivering innovative and exciting projects in areas such as real time data and cloud engineering. These projects are delivered in complex environments with many interconnected applications. So innovation and modernisation typically go hand in hand.”
“My personal experience tells me that creating world class technology solutions is actually a very creative process. And the projects I have enjoyed the most are those where a small group of people create something that is massive in terms of its impact. The best solutions are created by rounded technologists who understand our clients’ business and the challenges they face. That is how I would start describing our modus operandi.”

I joined First Derivative 12 years ago as part of the graduate OPTIONS programme. As a graduate the career choices available to you are endless but First Derivative always stood out to me for its culture, variety of work, professionalism and global presence. Whilst there has been a huge amount of change in the company since operationally these values still hold true today.
I’m a Programme manager in First Derivative’s Client Solutions practice and a lot of people assume my role is made up of project plans and tons of admin work. Whilst I do love a good plan, the role brings so much more in a practical sense when you are on the ground working with a client. Every project can vary but it’s important to have really strong stakeholder engagement skills, be a keen problem solver, a team player as well as loving a good bit of organisation.
You are a combination of the people around you, so surround yourself with people who share the same values as yourself. For me this is positivity, ambition and a willingness to learn and help others.
The variety of projects we cover in client solutions means you are constantly being challenged whether it’s in your own delivery or supporting others across the practice. I’ve been supported through every step of my career and the motivation and attitude of those around me has made it an enjoyable journey.

What attracted me the most when I first heard about First Derivative was the huge network and opportunities abroad. I always wanted to go travelling and live in different countries and First Derivative gave me the opportunity to do so.
I have been with First Derivative for a few years and the most rewarding part of my role at this stage is being able to help and mentor new people into the First Derivative culture and Murex world.
Being in consulting means being in a highly dynamic environment. You can work in different projects and clients at the same time. In my day-to-day role I work closely with different clients on the Murex application. I am part of the Finance team in which we are developing and adapting the tool to adapt to new products and new regulations that affects our clients.
The opportunities and the personal development that First Derivative can offer you. It allows you to grow by working in an international environment and gives you the tools to grow your career in different roles.
Adapting to the new challenges that arise from our dynamic world and giving fast solutions can be the most challenging part of my role.
The flexibility that First Derivative offers to their employees such as allowing us to work remotely in many cases and having opportunities abroad are the best parts in my opinion.
If you like international dynamic environments and flexibility to grow your career, First Derivative is a great company that offers both of those opportunities.
I received a call from First Derivative as my profile matched what they were looking for and I got the opportunity to work in my first project abroad, in Finland!
