Description

Freetrade’s mission is to become the default place to invest. Investing has been too complicated and expensive for too long, keeping millions from making the most of their savings.

We’re changing that.

We’re building our team and looking for people who are excited to reshape how our customers invest and grow their wealth. If you’re driven by solving complex problems and building innovative products, you’ll fit right in.

2025 is a big year for us. In January, we announced a game changing deal to become part of the IG Group. We’ll continue to operate as an independent business while gaining access to the resources and support of an established leader in the space.

This year, we’re accelerating our roadmap and taking our products to the next level. We’re building new features like mutual funds, bonds, and family investment tools. We’re also exploring how we can leverage AI to deliver an even better experience for our customers.

We are looking for a Director of Product who is entrepreneurial, deeply curious, and passionate about building world-class products that drive real outcomes. You will lead our product management function across multiple domains, scaling our team and evolving our practices to match the pace and ambition of our growth.

8+ years of product management experience, including at least 4 years in leadership roles, ideally within a fast-paced tech or fintech environment.

Exceptional product craft : strategic thinking, customer empathy, and the ability to translate user and business needs into impactful solutions.
