Compliance Associate

Compliance isn't just working within the rules but establishing a culture that empowers everyone within the business to ensure our customers receive fair outcomes. Businesses like ours are constantly innovating and evolving, so establishing 'compliance by design' as a fundamental part of our organisation's structure and delivery path mitigates risks when things do go wrong. Great partnerships with a compliance team allow a business to build itself sustainably. As a compliance associate at Selina Finance, you will be part of the team making this vision a reality.

About Selina

At Selina Finance, our mission is to give people access to the wealth they have in their homes, and we’re doing that by building a next-generation digital lender – starting with a home equity loan product. More than £2tn equity value is locked up in UK homes, while homeowners still need to rely on high-interest rate consumer loans, credit cards or overdrafts. We believe this is unfair and unnecessary. We offer a financing product unlike anything else out there, one that is as flexible as a current account, as affordable as a mortgage, and as easy to apply for as a consumer loan.

We are building an incredible team and culture of high performance, development, reward and recognition. 

We have quite a few things to be proud of:
