Our FinTech client is looking for an organised Operations Executive with at least 1 year of work experience within operations and is familiar with FCA regulatory expectations relevant to customer service, complaints and investor communications.
The
Operations Executive will play a central role in the day-to-day running of our operational activities, ensuring that customers, investors, businesses and shareholders receive a professional, compliant and high-quality service.
