Company mission
Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s helping more people to invest – and invest well.
Role
Who you are
- You’ll have at least a year’s experience in Financial Services – ideally within a platform or wrap environment – and some hands-on exposure to dividend or corporate action processing
- If you’re proactive, detail-oriented, and keen to grow within a dynamic fintech environment, you’ll fit right in
- You have a willingness to learn about products, technology and investment wrappers
- You have experience in a fast-paced environment where juggling multiple tasks simultaneously is common
- You have a willingness to learn more about, and take ownership of, processes and customer outcomes
- You enjoy working with numbers, are assiduous with a high attention to detail, and a solid problem-solver
- You have strong communication, organisational skills and an eye for accuracy
- You are a team player who is customer and delivery focussed and wants to gain new skills on the journey
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an Operations analyst to join our Asset Servicing team, reporting to the Operations delivery lead
- You'll understand how dividends for equities, mutual funds and bonds are calculated, reconciled and paid, and familiarity with the lifecycle of corporate actions on an investment platform will be a strong plus
- You’ll work closely with other Operational teams to ensure clients are paid accurately and on time, spotting and resolving discrepancies quickly
- At Seccl, how you work matters just as much as what you do
- Our guiding principles are to never settle, take ownership, and be generous and candid
- You’ll be trusted to act with care and urgency, take initiative, and help drive improvements to our processes
- You'll join a close-knit, collaborative team (around five people) where reliability, openness and feedback are key
- We move fast, but with quality and compliance always front of mind
- Identifying dividend receipts, calculating client entitlements, reconciling positions and releasing payments to client accounts
- Using internal systems to identify discrepancies, understand their cause and resolve them
- Working as part of a small team, using effective communication to ensure daily tasks are completed with a high degree of accuracy
- Maintaining ownership of any request until resolution and meeting agreed SLA’s
- Taking ownership of key operational processes within the operations domain
- Identifying and resolving technical issues with a variety of workflows and utilising a range of collaborative applications
- You’ll find that your work alignment will change from time to time as the business grows to meet the changing demands of a rapidly scaling Operations function
Application process
- 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 competency-based interview
- Second stage – 30-45 mins conversation linked to our operating principles and ways of working
- ⏳ 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
