- You’re an experienced people leader who enjoys coaching, developing and supporting a team
- You bring expertise in operational processing, risk management and change management
- You’re confident improving processes, managing workflows and using MI to drive decisions
- You’re comfortable with systems like Core and Pfolio, and are working towards (or hold) the CISI Investment Operations Certificate, or equivalent
- If this sounds like your kind of thing, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’d love to hear from you!
What the job involves
- Our Senior operations analysts are responsible for managing a team of direct reports, while overseeing critical processes and controls to ensure efficient delivery of transfer operations
- You will use your knowledge to ensure consistent and quality delivery of the operational customer journey, working closely with Customer and Product teams to ensure a seamless experience for our partner firms
- You will proactively analyse and identify opportunities for improvement, automation and streamline our operations processes
- Leading, coaching and supporting your team through regular 1:1s and development conversations
- Overseeing transfer workflows to ensure service levels are met and continuously improved
- Acting as the subject matter expert and point of escalation for complex queries
- Identifying risks, resolving blockers, and making sure controls and processes are up to date
- Preparing and sharing accurate MI to give visibility of team activity and performance
- Collaborating with colleagues across Operations and the wider business to deliver effective outcomes
- Supporting training and knowledge sharing to build capability across the team
- Driving continuous improvement in how we work and serve our clients
Application process
- ⏳ We’ll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage
- Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out and you should expect to hear back from us within one to two weeks of applying
- Interviewing is a two-way thing, and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you
- Our interviews are conversational, so come with questions and be curious. In general, you can expect the interview process to look a bit like this, (following an initial chat with one of our Talent team):
- First stage – 45 mins competencies-based interview with the hiring manager and a Senior operations analyst
- Second stage – 45 mins technical interview or assessment with the hiring manager and Head of operations & servicing
Our take
Seccl is an embedded investment platform revolutionising how companies offer investment services. With its API-first technology infrastructure, it helps financial professionals and businesses launch and manage investment platforms easily. By simplifying old, clunky processes, Seccl gives firms the tools they need to offer customers a seamless, digital investing experience - whether it's for financial advisers, neobanks, or fast-growing startups.
Since being acquired by Octopus in 2019, Seccl has seen impressive growth. Now supporting over 1 million investors, it manages more than £6 billion in funds through its platform. With this, Seccl is well on track to power even more businesses, and as it continues to grow, its mission to disrupt the industry with smarter, scalable solutions is only growing in momentum.
