Description
About InvestEngineInvestEngine is everything the modern investor should need. Unbeatable value, market-leading automation, and built for easy, long-term investing.
We’ve built a strong foundation, now with over £2 billion invested, award-winning service, and a passionate, high-calibre team — and we’re scaling fast. Operating in a regulated environment, doing things the right way is core to how we grow.
About The Role

The role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, scaling environment, is comfortable owning outcomes, and has a strong financial crime risk mindset.
You’ll play a key role in protecting the firm from regulatory, reputational, and legal risk, while enabling the business to grow safely and sustainably.
