What You Will Do
- Client engagement: Maintain proactive and professional communication with clients via telephone and email, establishing rapport and understanding their informational needs in relation to our products and services.
- Product information: Provide clear, fair, and balanced general information about our financial instruments and platform features. All information is non-advisory and must include appropriate risk disclosure in line with FCA requirements.

What We Are Looking For
- Previous experience in a client-facing, customer service, or financial services role is advantageous but not essential
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly and accurately
- A professional and composed telephone manner
- Resilience, self-motivation, and the ability to work consistently under pressure
- A conscientious approach to performance targets within a structured, compliant framework
- Proficiency in standard computer applications and CRM systems
- A demonstrated commitment to ethical conduct, client care, and regulatory compliance
What To Expect
We believe in being transparent with all candidates. This is a performance-based role within a structured, target-driven environment. You will encounter challenges including client objections and demanding performance expectations. Success in this role requires consistency, professionalism, and the ability to maintain composure under pressure. This role is not suited to everyone, and that is intentional. We seek individuals who understand the demands of a regulated, performance-based environment and are motivated by structured professional growth and long-term career development.
Training and Selection Process
- Candidates who are successful at the first stage interview will be invited to attend a one-week, fully paid training programme
- Training covers an introduction to the role, systems, client communication standards, and regulatory and compliance requirements as set out by the FCA
- The training period also serves as a mutual assessment of suitability before a formal offer of employment is made
For those who are the right fit, the opportunity is significant. Those who meet performance standards and demonstrate the right professional attitude do not simply retain their position. They progress. Fortrade promotes from within, conducts annual salary reviews, and provides high performers with the kind of career development and exposure that extends well beyond this role. Whether your objective is a senior position, a broader career in regulated financial services, or a credible track record in a compliant environment, this role provides a genuine foundation for those willing to commit to it.
