Growth lead

ABOUT US

Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s helping more people to invest – and invest well.
Our sector is being held back by old tech, dismal processes and misaligned interests. Together they create pointless complexity for financial planning and investment professionals, and provide outdated, overpriced experiences for customers. We’re on a mission to fix it.
We help forward-thinking financial planners, wealth managers and investment platforms to reimagine their business and client experience – empowering them to build better, more sustainable and more valuable operations, and meet the digital demands of the future, not the baseline expectations of the past.
And we do it by reimagining their technology – with a low-cost, hyper-efficient and (genuinely) API-first technology infrastructure that handles millions of requests every day, and powers the portfolios of more than 160,000 investors.
A regulated custodian and ISA/SIPP provider, we combine the disruptive mindset and ambitious mission to shake things up, with the commitment and substance to not screw them up.
We’re proud to be part of Octopus, the £12.8 billion group that’s on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Growth lead to join our Commercial team. If you can hold your own in a room full of people and like to hit the ground running, then read on…
This role is unlike other sales roles, whilst it includes relationship management and the usual sales activity, we also need you to be technical. We’re looking for a super star who can not only identify new prospects but can also answer technical questions on the implementation process.
You’ll be responsible for understanding new prospects goals and focussing on delivery and partnerships. You’ll play a pivotal role in identifying growth opportunities, developing and implementing growth strategies and plans to achieve sustainable growth.

THIS ROLE ISN’T FOR YOU IF:

• You rely on a lot of top-down direction.Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression
• You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability is what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
• You struggle to follow through on your ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen
• You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty

Our purpose is supported by a series of non-negotiable operating principles that define how we work to deliver value for each other and for our clients:

• Never settle - we think of ourselves as ‘embedded hero-makers’ for our customers. We put them first, and if we say we’ll do something, we’ll move heaven earth to do it. We think boldly and embrace change.
• Take ownership - we think rigorously and deeply about a problem, but then charge at it, acting with and urgency and speed that sets us apart. But we never lose sight on quality or long-term scalability.
• Be generous and candid - we encourage our people – and our customers – to challenge us and never shy away from tough conversations. We have a flat and inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves – and speak up
