Hybrid with two days a week (Tuesday & Wednesday) in the Bath office.

Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s on a mission to helping more people to invest – and invest well.

We’re B-Corp certified with an amazing product-market fit, impressive early traction and the potential to transform an outdated industry, for the better. We've been growing fast and will scale even faster over the next few years.

We’re also proud to be part of Octopus, the £multi billion group that's on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money.

We’re looking for a Junior operations analyst to join our Asset Servicing team, reporting to the Operations delivery lead. This is a great opportunity to start your career in Financial Services and get hands-on experience in the fintech space.

You'll be part of a small, collaborative team responsible for the accurate and timely processing of dividends on client accounts. While previous Financial Services experience isn’t required, you’ll need to be confident working with numbers and large data sets (and ideally comfortable using Excel). You’ll be organised, methodical, and have a keen eye for detail — spotting discrepancies quickly and resolving them efficiently.

At Seccl, we care just as much about how you work as what you do. Our guiding principles are to never settle, take ownership, and be generous and candid. You’ll be trusted to take initiative, act with care and urgency, and contribute ideas to improve how we work. We move fast but always with quality and compliance at the core.

You'll join a close-knit team where collaboration and reliability are key — we support each other, share knowledge, and celebrate progress. If you’re proactive, curious, and eager to grow in a dynamic fintech environment, you’ll fit right in.

• Identifying dividend receipts, calculating client entitlements, reconciling positions and releasing payments to client accounts.

• Using internal systems to identify discrepancies, understand their cause and resolve them.

• Working as part of a small team, using effective communication to ensure daily tasks are completed with a high degree of accuracy.

• You’ll find that your work alignment will change from time to time as the business grows to meet the changing demands of a rapidly scaling Operations function.

• You have a willingness to learn about products, technology and investment wrappers.

• You have experience in a fast-paced environment where juggling multiple tasks simultaneously is common.

• You have a willingness to learn more about, and take ownership of, processes and customer outcomes.

• You enjoy working with numbers, are assiduous with a high attention to detail, and a solid problem-solver.

• You have strong communication, organisational skills and an eye for accuracy

• You are a team player who is customer and delivery focussed and wants to gain new skills on the journey.

• 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

💰 A salary of £27,000 – reviewed annually

🌴 27 days holiday + bank holidays (some can be flexible) + day off on your birthday + three days (full time) per year for Dependant leave

⏳ We’ll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out and you should expect to hear back from us within one to two weeks of applying.
