Company Narrative

We're Quilter Invest, a scale‑up FinTech app that's pioneering the future of wealth management with cutting‑edge solutions tailored for a new generation of investors. Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their financial future through smart, intuitive tools that make investing and saving easy and accessible. We began as a startup called Wombat Invest, and after various rounds of funding, have now successfully been acquired by Quilter plc to provide more investing and savings offerings to their customer base, and help bring new customers on board. We're currently scaling up fast so we can position ourselves as a leading FinTech product in the market.

We've always been a small team, but as we're currently scaling up, we'll almost be doubling our development team. That means you'll be joining a welcoming and close‑knit team who have been at the company for many years and joining an expanding team at the same time. We use Slack within Quilter Invest for fast communication, and Teams to stay in contact with the broader Quilter company. As we've always been remote, we make an effort to stay connected to each other, and every now and then we'll do an optional office day at our headquarters in Bank, London.

We seek empowerment and demonstrate ownership and trust, with the confidence to make impactful decisions.
