How We Work

This role has a lot of freedom to solve problems in ways that achieve our outcomes and align with our values. You will be expected to take ownership of your work from Day 1. To thrive at FundApps, you will need to be comfortable with uncertainty and embrace change as it comes. We value people who take charge of their destiny and help make things better for everyone around them.

What You'll Bring To The Team

• Background: You are an IT Manager with experience managing complex estates. You are comfortable operating autonomously, making sound decisions and asking for input or support when it will improve the outcome. You keep your users’ productivity at the heart of what you do.
• Work-with-purpose: You can articulate the value of your own work in larger projects or team‑wide goals. You have the space to own and deliver solutions and are comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving requirements.
• Have‑courage: You are comfortable asking for and giving feedback. You help others when needed and participate in debates, brainstorms, and other team conversations regularly. You build strong relationships with your colleagues across the wider company and can respectfully challenge one another to understand the problem and find the best solutions. As a company, we embrace change and the chance of failure.
• Be‑transparent: As a company, we value and aspire to transparency at all levels; you’ll provide work updates to communicate regularly about progress and blockers and reach out for help when needed.
• Raise‑the‑bar: You seek out opportunities to improve our workflows, processes, and practices; 1% improvements over time improve things for everyone.
• Do‑more‑with‑less: You identify and help implement improvements to processes and standards within the team, seek to optimise our workflows, and share ideas for how to automate manual tasks. As a company, we try to minimise meetings (we have meeting‑free Wednesdays) and default to asynchronous written communication over long, multiple‑person meetings.
