Company mission
Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s helping more people to invest – and invest well.
Role
Who you are
- If you’re excited about helping more people invest, driving change and innovation, and diving head-first into the unknown; if you see setbacks as fuel for growth and development; and if you believe that laser-focussed effort is the key to making things happen – then this is the role for you
- Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — you can make sense of uncertainty, prioritise effectively, and keep momentum even when the path isn’t fully clear
- Are confident managing multiple complex projects and workstreams at once, balancing competing priorities without dropping the ball
- Have a strong track record of leading cross-functional teams — bringing people together across Product, Engineering, Ops, and Compliance to deliver results
- Are comfortable operating at a senior level, influencing and communicating clearly with a range of stakeholders — from exec sponsors to external partners
- Can quickly grasp complex technical systems, processes, and data flows — and use that understanding to diagnose issues, solve problems, and guide clients through challenges
- Enjoy tackling knotty operational and technical problems, finding pragmatic, scalable solutions that balance client needs with business priorities
- Can distil regulatory and technical complexity into clear, actionable guidance that helps clients and colleagues make confident decisions
- Bring a commercial mindset — you understand how your work contributes to the growth and success of both Seccl and our clients, and can support sales and business development conversations with credibility
- Lead with curiosity and accountability — you take ownership of blockers, drive progress, and help others do their best work in the process
- Love variety — you might be helping to shape an integration one day, supporting a new launch the next, or coaching a team through a major migration the day after
What the job involves
- As a senior manager in our launch team, you’ll be owning the onboarding, launch, and migration of enterprise firms across our target segments
- Building trusted relationships with clients, understanding their goals, and guiding them through seamless onboarding and implementation journeys
- Driving complex projects from kick-off to roll-out, coordinating across commercial, legal, technical, and operational teams
- Solving challenges with creativity and commercial insight, turning problems into opportunities
- Acting as the product and API expert, shaping integration strategies and ensuring smooth migrations
- Partnering with sales and account management to deliver client workshops, scope projects, and unlock new opportunities
- Staying ahead of industry trends in investment and wealth tech, bringing fresh perspectives to every engagement
- Sharing knowledge and best practices across teams, mentoring others, and helping scale how we launch and deliver
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 competencies-based interview with the hiring manager and another member of the team
- Second stage – one-hour technical interview or assessment
- Final stage - 45 mins bar-raiser culture-based interview

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.
