Job description

Join a Fintech That’s Changing the Game

Tired of reading job ads that all sound the same? Here’s something different.

At Selina, we’re building a next-generation lender that’s unlocking the £2 trillion trapped in UK home equity. And we’re not looking for just anyone. We want people who care about customers, take ownership of their work, and want to help drive meaningful change.

This isn’t a script-based, high-volume call centre role. You’ll be empowered to make a real impact, with time to understand customers, solve problems, and grow your career in a high-performing, values-led team.

About Selina Finance

We believe homeowners shouldn’t be locked out of using the wealth they’ve built. Our home equity loan product is designed to be as flexible as a current account, as affordable as a mortgage, and as easy to apply for as a consumer loan.

With Series B funding secured and rapid growth ahead, we’re scaling our Manchester operations—and that’s where you come in.

We have quite a few things to be proud of:

Voted top 30 of ‘Tempos 100 best start-ups to work for 2023’

We have 19 different nationalities across our London + Manchester offices

Series B funded by leading VC funds
