Company mission
To create a world in which everyone has the financial security and peace of mind to decide their future.
Role
Who you are
- This role is less about specific domain knowledge (but it does help) and more about your ability to work strategically, embrace unfamiliar operational challenges and upskill quickly on new topics
- You can build context quickly - you can figure out what information you'll need to solve a problem, and you can find it quickly
- You know how to research new things and summarise what you've learned to get others up to speed, ready to input on a decision
- You have strong execution habits, with an effective system in place for managing your own time and workload. You can manage concurrent processes effectively
- You can find and analyse data to enable great decision-making by each team member at all levels of the business
- You're emotionally intelligent and able to navigate sensitive issues. You communicate frequently, clearly and concisely
What the job involves
- Data: you'll lead our regular metrics reporting, investigate critical issues and build a culture of data-led decision-making
- Strategy & Planning: you'll be in close proximity to our COO (Adrian) and CEO (Charlie), advising and executing on our strategy, organising our OKR process and helping the leadership team optimise their time
- People: you'll build, implement and automate processes, manage day-to-day HR queries and influence Lumio's people-first culture
- Finance: you'll work with our external accountants on our bookkeeping, manage our cashflow, and support our financial modelling and funding
- Legal: you'll liaise with our external counsel and carry out research to support Adrian, our COO (and experienced lawyer), with legal issues
Application process
- 1. We'll share a link to some written questions using our debiased hiring platform, Applied (30-60 mins)
- 2. If you're successful, we'll invite you to a first interview with 2 members of the Lumio team (30-60 mins)
- 3. We'll give you a take-home task that reflects the work you'd actually be doing every day (1 hour)
- 4. Meet the rest of the Lumio team and make sure you're a great cultural fit (as long as you need)
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Young professionals' money largely sits in current accounts depreciating, and they often lack the time and financial literacy to change that. Further, money is used inefficiently through poor savings rates, extortionate investment fees, and high-interest credit and loans. Lumio is helping millennials navigate the growing and intricate marketplace and take control of their finances by developing a smart and simple app.
The company finds clever ways for users to grow their money. Users can connect their accounts using Open Finance and start tracking, planning and growing their financial life. Lumio operates through an independent app, with an interface that is both modern and easy to use. By providing an overview of the users' finances and offering guidance on current, savings and investment accounts the company connects people to products so they can make their money work harder for them.
The company's ultimate goal is to grow one million customers' money by 2024. Recognised as part of the top 100 Fintech Disruptor by BusinessCloud in 2020, and with recent funding secured, Lumio is placed well to work towards this aim. Further, the company plans to launch in key EU locations in the near future, which will help propel its growth further.
