Description

Wealth Wizards was founded in 2009 with one aim: to use technology to make financial guidance and advice affordable and accessible to everyone.

Our platform enables customers to automate regulated journeys to engage, advise and execute on everyday financial planning decisions.

After being acquired by Royal London in 2021, we have doubled down on our mission to become a SaaS provider, bringing exciting new opportunities and potential. Royal London has over GBP 159 billion assets under management and is very supportive of our mission. We have a large market to grow into and having high quality products is key!

We welcome individuals from all walks of life and strive to build a culture where all voices are heard, differences are embraced, and everyone has equal access to opportunities. We encourage applications from individuals of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

If you require any reasonable adjustments to be made during the application or interview process, please let us know, and we will be happy to help.

Quality Engineering
