The client

This client has created a platform that allows individuals to take a more proactive role in the world of financial services and investing.

Their goal is to make this space easier, more accessible and fairer for everyone and through their platform, for the first time, everyday retail investors (like you or I) can connect to publicly traded companies raising capital.

As a brand they truly value user-centred design and they see user research as integral to their growth and crucial to them understanding their users.

The role

They’ve already begun building out their research team with a few mid-senior hires and they now need an experienced researcher to come in and really drive things forward. 

You’ll be directing this team of 3 with the expectation that you’ll eventually grow it even further with a couple more hires. 

You’ll also be partnering with leadership across design, product, engineering and data to collectively drive innovation and identify opportunities for improvement and progression.

As a Head of you’ll have huge influence and autonomy over where to take things; your role will be integral to the growth and direction of the research function. They really value research here so this is a huge (and exciting) hire for the company!

• Base salary of up to £120,000
• Discretionary bonus

• Hybrid working (2-3 days a week in their London office)
