Job Description
About Selina
At Selina Finance, our mission is to provide exceptional value with simple and flexible financial products. We’re achieving this by building a next-generation digital lender targeting homeowners across the UK. More than £2tn of equity value is locked up in UK homes, while homeowners still need to rely on high-interest-rate consumer loans, credit cards, or overdrafts. We believe this is unfair and unnecessary. We offer a financing product unlike anything else out there, one that is as flexible as a current account, as affordable as a mortgage, and as easy to apply for as a consumer loan.
We are building an incredible team and culture of high performance, development, reward and recognition, ready for the next phase of our adventure, and this is where you come in!
We have quite a few things to be proud of:
🌏 We have 19 different nationalities across our London + Manchester offices
🏆 Voted as ‘one of the fastest-growing businesses in the UK’ by Business Leader Growth 500 for 2025
🏆 Voted top 30 of ‘Tempos 100 best start-ups to work for 2023’
🦾 Disability Confident Committed employer
🏆 BCorp Certified
✏️ Rated Highly In Our Employee Survey On:
✔ Workplace Culture
✔ Work Life/Balance
✔ Employee Recognition
Purpose of the Role
The Operational Excellence Associate exists to help the organisation do more with less by eliminating inefficient, low-value, or unnecessary processes at their root — not by incrementally improving them, but by redesigning or removing them altogether.
Partnering closely with the Operational Excellence Manager and senior stakeholders, the role drives high-impact operational improvements and structural changes that improve scalability, efficiency, and outcomes.

- Energetic and hands-on mentality with a clear results-first approach
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and focus on problem-solving
- Excellent executive communication, interpersonal and presentation skills
- Strong team player, growth mindset, and results-oriented mindset; you like owning outcomes, not just analysis
- Experience in ops roles in high-growth scale/start-up environments
- Previous exposure to financial services is a plus
This role is designed for someone stepping out of consulting who wants:
- More ownership and accountability
- Direct exposure to senior leadership
- £65,000-£70,000 base salary

Our values underpin how we work together as a high-performing team, driving our growth and success.
✅ Take Ownership - We all act as owners. We make decisions in the best interest of the company. We pride ourselves on solving problems, not finding barriers. We have a bias for action; we move fast and we deliver.
🥇 Customer Obsessed - We put our customers at the heart of everything we do. We listen to their needs and work tirelessly to provide them with the best possible products and experiences.
🚀 Drive Change - We are pioneers in our industry. We are not afraid to challenge the status quo and we constantly seek out new and better ways of doing things. We are agile and adaptable, and we embrace change as an opportunity for growth.
💪 Empower Our Team - We believe that collaboration and teamwork are the cornerstones of success and we set up our team for great achievements.
We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to ensuring that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be justifiable.
We also welcome and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented categories, and provide feedback to any candidate we interview, even if that feedback is speaking to another candidate being more suitable for the role.
