Description

Senior Compliance Manager
London

At Freetrade, we believe investing should be accessible to everyone. It's one of the best ways to grow your savings, but for many, it seems complicated, expensive, and out of reach.

We're here to change that.

We're building a team with diverse and unique perspectives to help us on our mission to demystify investing. Our goal is to help our customers achieve better long-term financial outcomes.

In 2024, we'll be focusing on making our business cash flow profitable. We'll also be radically improving our product for our core customer base. In the UK, we now have over 1.6 million registered users, and we offer a range of products such as the Freetrade Pension, stocks and shares ISA, and UK Treasury bills.

This is a key role within Freetrade, with a high level of exposure to Senior Management and Executive Committees. We are looking to mature the function, build out more structure and stronger processes, and support business growth and new products. We are looking for someone who can own and deliver elements to lead others and oversee their contributions. This will effectively be the deputy role. The role will grow with the firm.
