InvestEngine is everything the modern investor should need: unbeatable value, market-leading automation, and built for simple, long-term investing.
We’ve built a strong foundation — over £2 billion invested, award-winning service, and a passionate, high-calibre team. Now we’re entering the next stage: scaling operational excellence to match our growth ambitions.
This is where you come in.
We’re looking for a Senior Strategy & Operations Manager to join our CEO Office, focused on Performance.
This is a high-impact individual contributor role responsible for building how the company measures and drives performance.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and COO to design and implement a data-driven performance system from the ground up — defining KPIs, building visibility, and establishing execution discipline across the business.
You won’t be managing a function — you’ll be enabling the whole company to operate with clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes.
This role is ideal for someone who combines consulting-level structured thinking with hands‑on execution, enjoys solving ambiguous operational problems, and is comfortable working with incomplete or fragmented data.
You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance, People, and Operations — influencing without formal authority and owning initiatives end‑to‑end.
Own and deliver high-priority, cross-functional initiatives focused on performance and operational effectiveness
Define and implement a clear KPI framework across company, team, and individual levels
Translate CEO priorities into structured plans with milestones, KPIs, and clear accountability
Work directly with fragmented and incomplete data — using SQL and Python where needed to extract, structure, and analyse performance
Build simple, decision-driving dashboards and reporting to create visibility across the business
Redesign and implement a data-driven performance review process
Establish a clear execution cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly reviews) to track progress and drive accountability
Diagnose root causes of operational inefficiencies and implement scalable fixes
Design and improve workflows using automation, AI (e.g. Notion AI), and internal systems
Drive adoption of tools such as Asana, Notion, and workflow systems to improve execution discipline
Act as a force multiplier for the CEO and COO — increasing clarity, speed, and accountability across teams
5–8+ years of experience in fintech scale‑ups, consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) or similar high‑performance environments
Proven track record of independently leading and delivering cross‑functional initiatives
Strong structured problem‑solving skills (hypothesis-driven, root‑cause focused)
High data literacy — confident using SQL and Python to work with real, imperfect data
Comfortable designing processes and working with operational tooling (Asana, Notion, systems integrations)
Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to bring clarity to ambiguity
High ownership, strong execution discipline, and comfort operating in a fast-moving environment
Exposure to automation or AI‑enabled workflows
Experience building performance frameworks or KPI systems
Experience working in high‑growth or scaling companies
A clear, adopted company-wide KPI framework
Reliable visibility on company and team performance
Performance reviews that are data‑driven and actionable
Faster decision‑to‑execution cycles across teams
Reduced operational load on senior leadership
Scalable systems that remove recurring friction
We’re a lean, fast‑moving team that values clarity, ownership, and transparency. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, the responsibility to follow through, and the backing of a team that values clear thinking and open dialogue. We believe in solving problems at the root, not just treating the symptoms.
Impact from day one
You’ll take on meaningful work from the start, tackling real challenges that drive the stability, efficiency, and growth of our business.
Room to grow
As we scale, you’ll have opportunities to expand your responsibilities, influence how we work, and help shape our long‑term direction.
Transparent and open culture
We share decisions openly, keep communication channels clear, and encourage collaboration across every part of the business.
Supportive, high‑calibre team
Work alongside talented professionals who are experts in their fields — smart, driven, and generous with their knowledge.
Remote first and flexible
Work in the way that best suits you. We focus on results, not rigid hours, and trust you to manage your time effectively.
