Raisin is a leading fintech platform connecting consumers with banks across the EU, UK, and US to access better savings and investment rates. The company manages over 80 billion euros in assets for more than one million investors and employs 800+ people across 75+ countries.
You will serve as Chief of Staff to the UK CEO, acting as their strategic right hand to drive commercial expansion and execute high-priority strategic initiatives in the UK market. This is a commercial and sales-focused role—not an administrative or project-management position—designed for someone who can bridge institutional partnership development with executive-level execution.
Key responsibilities include:
**Strategic Business Development & Commercial Growth:**
- Develop and execute UK market strategy, translating client context, competitive dynamics, and customer feedback into actionable growth opportunities
- Lead business development initiatives to identify and execute partnerships with banks, asset managers, wealth managers, and other financial institutions
- Partner directly with the UK CEO on complex commercial partnership negotiations
- Evaluate commercial frameworks, conduct financial modeling, and negotiate terms for strategic accounts
**Strategic Operations & Cross-Functional Execution:**
- Own end-to-end execution of CEO-led strategic initiatives with cross-functional alignment across UK teams and the wider Raisin Group
- Draft strategic presentations, business cases, and commercial proposals for the UK CEO, local and Group boards, and executive management
- Collaborate with Group product and operational teams to champion UK commercial priorities and integrate features into the product roadmap
- Maintain rigorous documentation, project cadences, and operational alignment while navigating Risk, Compliance, and Legal clearance
The role is hybrid with office presence twice weekly (Wednesday is core day). Benefits include £1,700 annual development budget, 4 training days per year, 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, company pension with 5% minimum employer contribution, and annual team retreats.
**Requirements:**
- Background in Investment Banking (especially Financial Institutions Group), M&A Advisory, Corporate Finance, Consulting, or Strategic Business Development in financial services/fintech
- Highly analytical and proactive mindset; preference for methodical, structured, data-backed execution over reactive problem-solving
- Strong commercial instincts and thorough understanding of UK market dynamics
- Excellent financial modeling, valuation, contract negotiation, and analytical skills developed in high-pressure environments
- Proven ability to influence and align internal Group stakeholders, C-suite executives, and external partners
- Versatility to move seamlessly between financial modeling, client-facing sales, and internal project coordination
- Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills suited for Board-level interaction and external partner pitching
