Upvest is on a mission to make investing as easy as spending money. We provide a seamless Investment API that can be plugged into any app by any business to offer any investment products to end-users (B2B2C model).

Today’s investment world is siloed. Only a few in the EEA + UK invest and build wealth for their retirement. We will change that. We aim to provide equal chances to everyone with easy access to investing. Through our clients, we can empower hundreds of millions to take their wealth into their own hands.

Our Northstar is the number of end-users, we generate revenue through AUM and the BPS we can earn on it, and we increase BPS by growing up the value chain with our customers. Hence our focus is on high-growth clients and innovating with them. A generation shift is at work towards millennials and generation Z - and they think digital-only. 

We estimate that by 2030 about 50% of the wealth will be distributed by fintech companies. Fintechs need fast, flexible, and adaptable infrastructure to serve their end-users. Infrastructure that the incumbents can not offer. We provide the world’s leading ‘open investment stack’.

At Upvest we take pride in our engineering approach: Leveraging the brainpower of the best people and the latest technology to create solutions that delight our clients and their users. We make it easy for our customers: Today, offering investments in-app takes years and millions to launch. With Upvest, it takes weeks at no setup costs to offer any ETF/stock/crypto across Europe.

Based on the strategy the Growth Team at Upvest is maintaining selection criteria for suitable customer segments and developing the pipeline of customer prospects. The Product Team will coordinate the creation and implementation of solutions with Engineering, Operations, Compliance, Legal, and Risk.

Successful onboarding is clearly determined, structured, and rapid - and must be scalable to get as many new customers as possible on our platform. The professional support and further development of existing customers will become another key building block for the success of Upvest.

As Head of Implementation, you will build teams that organise and implement the pipeline of all onboarding projects and the integration of clients into Upvest's daily operations. At the same time, you and your team will be responsible for the relationship with existing clients and ensuring that Upvest consistently meets or exceeds client expectations. Working closely with our Growth and Product teams on the strategic development of customer relationships is supplementary to the role.

Building and contributing to high-performing teams will be key to success. The reporting line is to Markus as the COO, but the Head of Implementations will work in and with agile teams that drive success through OKRs. You will need to be an excellent communicator who can bridge silos and bring the brightest people together both within the organization and the customer.
