About Us

Octopus, a privately-owned and B Corp-certified company, has been committed to driving change through business for over 25 years. With a team of dedicated colleagues who share this vision, we strive to make a positive impact on the world.

We aim to become the go-to brand for customers seeking informed decisions at critical life moments. To achieve this, we are focused on making our services more accessible, affordable, and exciting. Our mandate extends beyond helping customers, as we also seek to identify new opportunities and develop innovative products across Octopus Investments and four entrepreneur-led businesses (Octopus Money, Octopus Legacy, Seccl, and amicable).

Your Role

We are looking for an experienced individual to lead the strategic development and launch of new products for Octopus Investments, a private market manager with £13 billion under management. As a Strategic Development Leader, you will work closely with various teams and external partners to scope and deliver industry-changing projects. This opportunity allows you to hone your general management and delivery skills while working on a wide range of commercial propositions.

You will have the chance to gain exposure to commercial, distribution, and new product development, particularly in the financial services industry or growth-oriented organizations. Your ability to effectively coordinate with multiple stakeholders, build consensus, and lead teams to execute successful projects will be crucial to your success in this role.

Requirements
  • Proven experience in coordinating cross-functional teams and leading project execution
  • Strong organizational, planning, and project management skills
  • Good analytical abilities and basic comfort with financial modeling
What We Offer

We provide a hybrid working model that offers flexibility and work-life balance. You will have the option to work from home two days a week (Monday and Friday) with the remaining days spent at our central London office in Holborn. Additionally, we offer an 18-day work-from-anywhere allowance, which can be used to swap out on-site days or take time off to work from another country.

Our diverse team comprises decades of experience in financial services, and we pride ourselves on transparency, respect, and minimal office politics. You will also be part of our share incentive plan and eligible for a team bonus if you meet our team goals. Other benefits include access to a company pension, enhanced parental leave, private medical insurance, and other perks designed to ensure your health and happiness.
