At Freetrade, we believe investing should be open to everyone. It’s the single best way to grow your savings, but for a lot of people, investing seems complicated, expensive and remote. We want to change all that.
Our mission is to build a totally new culture around investing: innovative, customer-first and universally accessible. With over £6m in funding so far and as one of the most overfunded companies ever on Crowdcube, we're a growing team poised to disrupt the £1.2 trillion UK retail investments market. And that's just the start.
We're now looking for an ambitious and driven Finance Manager to join our
team. This is a real opportunity to fast-track your career and to be one of the first people in a growing Finance & Brokerage Operations function.
About you:
- You will be a qualified chartered accountant and will have used your knowledge within a commercial setting
- You will have a solid background working in finance, and in a strong controls environment, ideally in or with a regulated financial institution
- You are experienced in and enjoy managing projects and/or teams
- You will be used to working with a high level of independence and thrive in a fast-paced working environment where you can act on and share ideas
- You have excellent knowledge of financial reporting standards
- Structured and systematic way of working, as well as excellent time management
- Proactive, confident and resourceful when navigating through ambiguity
- Experience applying or auditing CASS frameworks is a plus!
What you'll do in the first 12 months
- You’ll be responsible for monitoring and reviewing key controls across finance and over client assets.
- You’ll help prepare and communicate the financial results and KPIs to key stakeholders
- You’ll supervise and help to develop more junior finance team members
- You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance and other teams on key strategic projects as we build out our product and drive our expansion into new markets
What we can offer you:
You’ll have a stake in the company you’re building, with stock options benchmarked to US companies (not Europe), so your equity will be truly meaningful.
We also support you with a range of extra perks, including top-end health and life insurance for you and the family, up to 5% pension contribution which we’ll match, enhanced parental leave, opportunities for learning and development, MacBook Pro, snazzy headphones... whatever tools you need.
Our office is in a beautiful co-working space,
Second Home in Spitalfields, which has an abundance of health, wellness and cultural events happening every day - and buzzy Brick Lane is just a street away.
We are an Equal Opportunity employer committed to a diverse and representative team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability - we want to hear from you. We're very open about what we're working on, and the best places to learn more are our buzzing
