At Freetrade, we believe investing should be open to everyone. It’s the single best way to grow your savings, but for a lot of people, investing seems complicated, expensive and remote. We want to change all that.

Our mission is to build a totally new culture around investing: innovative, customer-first and universally accessible. With over £6m in funding so far and as one of the most overfunded companies ever on Crowdcube, we're a growing team poised to disrupt the £1.2 trillion UK retail investments market. And that's just the start.

You'll fully own the management of a product or various products at Freetrade. You'll sit in the newly formed Product team, and you will report to our CEO.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, hands-on, savvy person to come on board and have a large impact.

Our work culture prioritises ownership, speed, and care, and you’ll have the freedom to pursue your own ideas and solutions.

You’ll have a stake in the company you’re building, with stock options benchmarked to US companies (not Europe), so your equity will be truly meaningful.

We also support you with a range of extra perks, including top-end health and life insurance for you and the family, up to 5% pension contribution which we’ll match, enhanced parental leave, opportunities for learning and development, MacBook Pro, snazzy headphones... whatever tools you need.

Our office is in a beautiful co-working space, Second Home in Spitalfields, which has an abundance of health, wellness and cultural events happening every day - and buzzy Brick Lane is just a street away.

We are an Equal Opportunity employer committed to a diverse and representative team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability - we want to hear from you. We're very open about what we're working on, and the best places to learn more are our buzzing community forum and our blog.
