Senior Manager - Investing

The Product Technical team provides the business with expert knowledge of the rules and practices expected of firms operating saving and investing products, principally those of regulators (such as HMRC & IRS) but also pertaining to associated industry practices such as payments, transfers and operational processes. The team applies their knowledge to a broad range of tasks, including facilitating regulatory returns & information requests, interpreting and advising on regulatory change, opining on complex customer queries and complaints, owning actions arising from internal governance forums and overseeing high impact processes. The team also represents Moneybox in industry forums and with key external third parties. The work is varied, fast paced and involves engagement with a large swathe of the business and external third parties.

You will learn a great deal about how Moneybox operates in the most granular level of detail and will be expected to apply your knowledge and experience to help create excellent outcomes for Moneybox and its customers. Due to the growth and success of Moneybox, the Product Technical team is expanding and is seeking to recruit a Senior Manager with an investing focus.

We’re looking for someone with expert knowledge of guiding and overseeing the administration of a high value, high volume, investment range and over ten years experience supporting investment operations. Knowledge of the creation and oversight of an in-house fund range would also be advantageous. You should be able to communicate complex concepts to those unfamiliar with them, be great at solving problems, and have a highly analytical and detail-orientated approach to articulating and documenting things. You should be able to discuss the most granular level detail of our operating model (such as how we disaggregate trades) with engineers and ops teams, whilst also being able to create and present strategic summaries to executives regarding pertinent topics. You will operate with a reasonable level of freedom so must be able to take ownership of the work assigned to you and naturally take a proactive approach to identifying issues or creating improvement.
