LendInvest is the UK’s leading FinTech platform for property finance. Over the past 15 years, we have grown from just our two founders to a team of over 250 working to make property finance simple for everyone.

A workplace culture built around trying new things, getting things done, and having fun while we do it has helped us lend more than £6 billion of mortgages, put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market, and successfully launch on the London Stock Exchange. We have big plans to continue growing the business, our products, our technology, and our people.

About the role

LendInvest is committed to acting with integrity: we are an ethical market participant and a responsible lender. A rigorous approach to managing conduct, compliance and financial crime risk is intended to seek to ensure good customer outcomes: this, and the anticipation and mitigation of harm, are at the heart of the business. As Compliance Officer, you will play a key role in ensuring that we maintain compliance with these objectives, and our regulatory obligations, in day to day practice.

You will be joining a small group of dedicated compliance and risk professionals who work closely and collaboratively in providing policy updates, advice, training, guidance, support and monitoring. You will be part of an enthusiastic and energetic team that embraces technology and creative ideas to engage the business.

For reference, LendInvest has two authorised entities, LendInvest Funds Management Ltd (which has fund offerings and the self-select platform, an AIF investment based platform) and LendInvest Loans Limited (which offers regulated mortgage contracts).

Key responsibilities

• Championing compliance to support an approach that prioritises good outcomes for our customers.

Ideally we are looking for

• An enthusiastic, hard-working person who works well in a team environment.
