Little puzzled that if a bank had a data breach so bad hackers got all your financial information that the bit that worries some people is they know your job title…???

‘Know your customer’ regulation is about knowing it in an ongoing sense. Sometimes, small flags or other reasons may require them to find out a little more. This is FCA regulation, and every bank will have their interpretations but it’s a similar deal for all of them.
It’s nothing to worry about really, I’d just fill it in. Given my salary goes into my bank account, they already know my salary anyway 
.
It’s regulatory, they aren’t using it for personalised ads or selling your data to right wing election campaigns or something.

In life, if you’re not sure about anything it’s best to ask or seek answers for yourself. So in this case, opening up live chat to ask why they need this information or a search on here could have helped.
If you bury your head in the sand / ignore it, you can make situations far worse than they need to be.
