About us

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

Our sector is being held back by old tech, dismal processes and misaligned interests. Together they create pointless complexity for financial planning and investment professionals, and provide outdated, overpriced experiences for customers. We’re on a mission to fix it. 

We help forward-thinking financial planners, wealth managers and investment platforms to reimagine their business and client experience – empowering them to build better, more sustainable and more valuable operations, and meet the digital demands of the future, not the baseline expectations of the past. 

And we do it by reimagining their technology – with a low-cost, hyper-efficient and (genuinely) API-first technology infrastructure that handles millions of requests every day, and powers the portfolios of more than 160,000 investors. 

A regulated custodian and ISA/SIPP provider, we combine the disruptive mindset and ambitious mission to shake things up, with the commitment and substance to not screw them up. 

We’re proud to be part of Octopus, the £12.8 billion group that's on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money. 

​

TLDR 

We’re a business with insane product-market fit, impressive early traction and an offering that has the potential to transform an outdated industry for the better. We’ve doubled the size of our business over the last six months and expect to do that a few more times over the next few years. 

​

The role

We’re looking for a Payment product manager to join one of our payment squads. This role is perfect for someone passionate about solving customer problems and who want to transform the advice and investment space. In this role, you’ll help shape Seccl’s payment solutions, from banking integrations to seamless payment processing and robust AML workflows.

​

At Seccl, we’re transforming the advice and investment space with innovative technology that spans trading, custody, client money management, client reporting, tax wrapper administration, and more. As a Payment product manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving these advancements and ensuring we deliver value to our customers.

​

This is an opportunity to:

• Shape the payment strategy and roadmap for a fast-growing fintech that want to disrupt an outdated industry.
• Work closely with engineers, operations, and other stakeholders to solve complex customer problems.
• Contribute to a high-performing, autonomous squad where your ideas will directly influence our success.

Key Responsibilities:

• Be part of a high-performing, autonomous cross-functional squad driven by a shared obsession with solving customer problems.
• Work closely with the Lead Product Manager and Operations Lead to shape the strategy and maintain a clear, prioritised roadmap that addresses customer pain points and drives business outcomes.
• Work closely as a pod with engineers, operations, and other stakeholders to solve payment challenges for our customers.
• Collaborate with engineers and QAs to own the end-to-end delivery of technology to our customers – shaping, designing, building, and maintaining the squad's product area.
• Translate product roadmap features into well-defined product requirements, including epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Prioritise and maintain the sprint backlog, balancing stakeholder needs while maximising value for customers.
• Partner with the Lead Product Manager, stakeholders, and customers across the organisation to inform the product vision, strategy, and prioritisation of features.
• Engage directly with customers to gather requirements, validate solutions, and ensure the product delivers value.
• Use quantitative and qualitative data to make evidence-based decisions.

You’ll be successful in this role if you…

• Have direct experience in investment platforms, fintech, or a regulated domain (e.g., banking tech, insurance, healthcare). While familiarity with APIs and payment technology is helpful, a strong willingness to learn and adapt is equally valued.
• Demonstrate a bias for action and proactivity, even when navigating uncertainty – you take initiative to identify opportunities, gather data, and move projects forward, even when faced with ambiguity or complexity.
• Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous situations and complex problems.
• Are obsessed with understanding and solving customer problems, constantly identifying opportunities for growth and improvement.
• Excel at delivering outcomes and following through on your commitments.
• Are an effective communicator, both as a listener and a speaker, with experience working closely with risk teams and engaging senior stakeholders. 
• Embrace self-directed learning and regularly bring external insights to benefit the team and customers.
• Continuously seek to improve your product management craft, staying curious and open to new perspectives.

​

This role isn’t for you if:

• You rely on top-down direction. Here, you’ll have significant freedom and ownership to shape your progression and deliver outcomes.
• You’re uncomfortable in a fast-paced environment. Our agility and scalability are what set us apart, and we expect quick thinking and adaptability.
• You struggle to execute your ideas. We value people who follow through and deliver on what they set out to achieve.
• You resist change. You’ll thrive here if you embrace the ambiguity of rapid growth and see change as an opportunity rather than a challenge.
