At Plum, we're on a mission to maximise wealth for all. We’re making saving money effortless and turning investing into something everyone can do.
Our journey began back in 2017, when we became one of the first to use artificial intelligence and automation to simplify personal finance. Fast forward to today, and we've already helped people save £2 billion across 10 European markets.
Named the UK's fastest-growing fintech in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, our success is down to the passion and dedication of our diverse team. Based in our London, Athens and Nicosia offices, 180 talented people work together to empower people to do more with their money. And now, the team is growing!
The role
We are seeking an experienced and strategic leader to join our Partnerships & Strategy team. As a Senior Manager / Lead, you will spearhead key initiatives, managing relationships with banking partners and leading the development of negotiation strategies.
You will ensure smooth information flow across teams, aligning commercial priorities with strategic goals. Your leadership will be instrumental in driving the best outcomes for the business and delivering high-impact partnerships.
What you will do
- Use your sector knowledge and industry relationships to proactively identify, scope, and drive new opportunities for Plum and our customers.
- Collaborate across teams (finance, operations, product, compliance etc.) to deliver and build better products and experiences for our customers. Your contribution will be mainly from the partnerships, regulatory and operational banking partnerships point of view.
- Manage and support the day-to-day requirements for our regulatory licences from a Product perspective.
- Lead complex, strategic projects independently, making high-impact decisions that align with organisational goals.
- Effectively balance short-term and long-term priorities, managing multiple projects and conflicting priorities.
What We Look For
- Experience working in a similar role at a fintech
- Ability to independently negotiate the most ideal terms with a clear product vision and understanding in mind and you can figure out the ideal operational and commercial process with every new partner.
- Be familiar with how corporate banks, payments and financial institutions work and their decision makers.
- Be excellent at creating and managing external relationships, constantly creating opportunities to improve them.
- Have an understanding of different financial licensing frameworks and requirements.
- Have an interest in AML/KYC and risk controls.
- Excellent communication skills, able to engage with stakeholders at all levels, including C-Suite.
