Hybrid role to be based in our Edinburgh office.

About us

Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform that’s on a mission to helping more people to invest – and invest well.

We’re B-Corp certified with an amazing product-market fit, impressive early traction and the potential to transform an outdated industry, for the better. We've been growing fast and will scale even faster over the next few years.

We’re also proud to be part of Octopus, the £multi billion group that's on a mission to breathe new life into broken industries, through companies like Octopus Energy, Octopus Investments and Octopus Money.

The role

We’re looking for a commercially-minded Legal Counsel (from NQ level onwards) to join our legal team, reporting directly to the General Counsel.

This is an opportunity for a solicitor who enjoys working autonomously, taking ownership of legal matters and partnering with colleagues across the business to deliver practical outcomes. You’ll help support a company transforming the wealth tech sector, providing clear and usable legal advice that enables innovation while appropriately managing risk.

The successful candidate will be comfortable operating with minimal supervision, quickly identifying the key issues and communicating legal advice in a way that engages non-legal stakeholders.

If you thrive on turning complexity into clarity, and love building processes that scale, this could be your perfect next move.

On a typical day you will…

Provide pragmatic legal advice to support the day-to-day running of the Seccl business.

Advise on a broad range of legal matters including financial services regulation, contract law, pensions law, data protection, employment law and intellectual property rights.

Draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts with suppliers, client firms, customers and other third parties.

Partner with product, technology, operations and commercial teams on strategic initiatives and new propositions.

Identify and manage legal risks while supporting business growth and innovation.

Support corporate governance and company secretarial activities where required.

Managing external counsel when appropriate.

Develop practical legal processes, templates and guidance that scale with the business.

This role’s for you if...

You are a qualified solicitor in England and Wales or Scotland, with experience gained in private practice, in-house, or both.

You are comfortable working independently.

You can provide solutions that balance legal risk with practical business outcomes

You are confident using technology to work efficiently and improve legal processes

You can get to the point quickly and explain legal concepts in a clear, concise and commercial way.

You enjoy building relationships and influencing decision-making across non-legal teams.

You have excellent drafting, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.

You thrive in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.

This role isn’t for you if...

You rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression

You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet

You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen

You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty

What’s in it for you…

We offer a generous mix of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including:

A salary between £65,000 and £75,000 – dependant on experience + reviewed annually

27 days holiday + bank holidays (some can be flexible) + day off on your birthday + three days (full time) per year for Dependant leave

Two volunteering days per year

Option to work abroad for up to six weeks a year

Secclbrate - our recognition programme that offers a mix of flexible rewards including extra pay, additional holiday and increased learning budget

Length of service award – one month paid sabbatical at eight years

✅ 6% employer pension contribution, and life assurance

Private medical insurance with AXA Health

Enhanced Parental leave

MacBook and up to £500 home office set up budget

£750 per person learning budget

Health and wellbeing initiatives including free therapy via Wellness Cloud, mental health support via Headspace

Strong financial wellbeing focus including access to Octopus Money, Octopus Share Incentive Plan and will writing offering via Octopus Legacy

Perkbox – Flexi-points giving you a range of discounts and perks including free weekly coffee, gym and retail discounts

Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work and Octopus Electric Vehicle Leasing

Our culture

We're proud to put people first, creating a culture where we truly listen to what matters most to them. Our transparent and inclusive environment encourages diversity of thought, challenge and experimentation.

Interview process

Interviewing is a two-way thing, and we want you to have the time and opportunity to get to know us, as much as we are getting to know you. Our interviews are conversational, so come with questions and be curious. In general, you can expect the interview process to look a bit like this, (following an initial chat with one of our Talent team):

First stage – 45 mins competencies-based interview with the hiring manager and a member of the People team

Second stage – one-hour technical interview or assessment with the CRO and hiring manager
Final stage – 45 mins bar-raiser culture-based interview

We’ll only close this role once we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out and you should expect to hear back from us within one to two weeks of applying.

Our aim is to build a diverse and inclusive company of awesome people, with unique skills, passions and experiences. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to age, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, or veteran, neurodiversity or disability status.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. We’d love to hear from you!
