Role

Who you are

  • You like coming up with creative ideas — and actually making them happen

What the job involves

  • You’ll work directly with our Business Development and marketing teams and get exposure to how a modern media and investing business operates. You’ll be part of a team that’s scaling fast and making a real impact. In addition, you’ll set yourself up for future roles in sales, marketing, partnerships, or community
  • Reach out, pitch ideas, and build win-win partnerships, craft and run crossover collabs - e.g., they promote Finimize in their newsletter, we promote them in ours
  • Work alongside the marketing team to create engaging social media posts
  • Think like a marketer: where do future Finimizers hang out? How can we show up there in a fresh, useful way? This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn how partnerships get done in the real world. You’ll get support, feedback, and loads of experience

Company

Our take

Abrdn, formerly known as Standard Life Aberdeen, is a global investment company helping its clients to save and invest for their futures. It operates three businesses - Investments, Adviser and Personal - and has been operating since way back in 1825.

Nowadays, atop its investment and advice services, the company delivers two platforms for financial advisers. The first, Wrap, enables users to build and manage portfolios for each client. It also includes SIPP drawdown capabilities - which means advisers can choose the best platform charges when client assets are at their highest. The second, Elevate, encompasses a suite of tools for advisers to save time and make sure their clients are informed.

Recently, Abrdn announced "adviserOS" which represents an upgrade to their platform offerings. There is limited information to go on, but the company claims this new venture will be more simple and data-led, as well as require less admin. It will be interesting to see if this new release keeps pace with tech developments across the investment space, and allows abrdn to continue as an innovator.
