Quilter Invest is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) investment platform designed to empower individuals starting their investment journey. As part of Quilter, a FTSE-250 wealth management company, Quilter Invest aims to bridge the advice gap by offering digital guidance and seamless investment solutions. The platform supports customers with accessible tools and works with financial advisers to deliver tailored financial planning for long-term prosperity.
As Head of Product at Quilter Invest, you will lead the product strategy and execution for our D2C platform, driving growth, user engagement, and innovation in a dynamic fintech environment.

This role blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and user obsession.

You will shape a product that influences millions, supported by Quilter's resources and the agility of a startup, with success hinging on seamless user experiences that build trust and loyalty and contribute to retention and AUM growth.

* Ensure regulatory compliance and risk management: Integrate FCA requirements, GDPR, and ethical AI considerations into product development; implement robust governance and clear fee structures.
* Monitor performance and optimise: Track metrics such as DAU/MAU, conversion, and AUM growth; use advanced analytics to identify bottlenecks and opportunities, prioritising high-impact areas (e.g., mobile-first features).
