THE ROLE

We’re on the hunt for a brilliant finance whizz, someone with relevant investment platform/wealth management experience to take the reins of Seccl’s finance team for a year. You’ll be the financial brain of the business – keeping our numbers squeaky clean, our strategy smart, and our decisions grounded in rock-solid insight. From audit to analysis, forecasting to financial controls, you’ll support and guide the small team that keeps our financial engine running smoothly – and help steer us through some exciting times ahead.

THIS ROLE’S FOR YOU IF…

You’re not just a numbers person – you’re a leader, a strategic thinker, and someone who thrives in a fast-paced, regulated environment.

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 are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
• You struggle to follow through on 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
