Job description

Do you want to join an innovative, creative and inclusive culture, at an exciting seed-stage Fintech?

Lumio is providing personal finance management for families, building smart tech so they can share, plan and grow together. Recognised as a Top 100 Fintech Disruptor, ahead of Monzo and Chip, with coverage from Forbes, Tech Nation and Sifted by FT, we’re empowering families to take control of their financial future and be proud of how they provide.

As Lumio’s Strategy & Operations Manager, you'll work directly with Lumio's leadership team to execute on key business priorities, applying your valuable skills across all functions of an early stage startup. We think this role is great for someone who is on the cusp of moving into a Chief of Staff or Head of Ops role and can make an immediate impact, or who wants to be a founder one day.

After raising over £1.7M to date, we're fundraising again this year so we can continue to develop amazing technology and expand as a global team. We're at a critical junction in our growth and need your help.

As our Strategy & Operations Manager, you’ll have these skills

• This role is less about specific domain knowledge (but it does help) and more about your ability to work strategically, embrace unfamiliar operational challenges and upskill quickly on new topics.
• You can build context quickly - you can figure out what information you'll need to solve a problem, and you can find it quickly.
• You know how to research new things and summarise what you've learned to get others up to speed, ready to input on a decision.
• You have strong execution habits, with an effective system in place for managing your own time and workload. You can manage concurrent processes effectively.
• You can find and analyse data to enable great decision-making by each team member at all levels of the business.
• You're emotionally intelligent and able to navigate sensitive issues. You communicate frequently, clearly and concisely.

You'll work across the entire business, ensuring our operations run smoothly, and executing on special projects with the entire leadership team.

As a generalist, the work you do will change, but you'll always be working on key business priorities. Some of the things you'll do are:

• Data: you'll lead our regular metrics reporting, investigate critical issues and build a culture of data-led decision-making
• Strategy & Planning: you'll be in close proximity to our COO (Adrian) and CEO (Charlie), advising and executing on our strategy, organising our OKR process and helping the leadership team optimise their time
• People: you'll build, implement and automate processes, manage day-to-day HR queries and influence Lumio's people-first culture
• Finance: you'll work with our external accountants on our bookkeeping, manage our cashflow, and support our financial modelling and funding
• Legal: you'll liaise with our external counsel and carry out research to support Adrian, our COO (and experienced lawyer), with legal issues

Why Lumio?

Finances are the #1 stress driver for couples, and the top reason for family arguments. Lumio will empower millions of families across the UK to have financial peace of mind and be proud of how they provide.

If you’re aligned with our core values and want the opportunity of building a long-lasting brand guided by human values, you’ll fit right in.

Working at Lumio you can expect a small, agile team environment grounded in core values where we:

• Champion Individuality - Lumio is because our people are
• Inspire Growth - our collective growth inspires challenge and transformation, for everyone’s benefit
• Trust & Commit - commitment to individual accountability and progress, drives trust and our combined success.

Benefits for the whole Lumio family

• Equity in Lumio to ensure long-term success for all
• 25 days annual leave + flexible bank holidays + a day off for your birthday + christmas closure!
• Paid self-care days off - like mental health and period leave
• £600 per year learning & development / wellbeing budget & progression support
• Opportunity to shape your career with involvement in other aspects of the business, from strategy, management and training, to building team culture
• Interest-free New Starter Loan to help transition to Lumio and Rainy Day Loan for life’s unexpected difficulties
• Smart Pensions with employer match
• Flexible working, however, wherever, whenever - we care about outputs, not facetime, with core meetings to collaborate
• Bring your pet to work days
• Friendly, open and transparent culture
• Remote-first working, with co-working spaces for collaboration and those who need an office
• Being part of something that's both commercially successful and people-led

Unbiased, fair recruitment – here's what to expect

We use Applied (software for unbiased hiring through anonymised applications) to ensure our hiring process is fair and bias-free.

Applying for a new job takes a lot time and work. So, we've focused on assessing your approach to real Lumio problems that need solving and the core skills required – no cover letters, “nice to haves” or other fluff! And we'll send all applicants feedback so you can see how you did in the context of the all applicants.

Step 1: Short work-related questions - feel free to search for things (25-35 mins)

Step 2: video calls covering technical aspects of the role and reverse interviews (for you to ask us questions)

Step 3: Meet the wider Lumio Team coffee or video call (as long as you need!)

Step 4: Offer!

Application process duration: expected 6 weeks.

We welcome everyone

Studies show that women are less likely than men to apply for a role that they don't meet 100% of the criteria for. We want to help change that! Even if you don’t tick everything on this advert, but feel you're close to the brief, please do apply – you might still be “the one” that can make a difference here at Lumio.

We embrace flexibility, individuality and diversity in the workplace. If you’d like to discuss flexibility in any way, please do let us know in your application.

We can’t wait for your application
