• Establish and enhance processes for dealing support, order handling, incident escalation, client enquiries and service feedback to strengthen client protection and responsiveness.
• Use client behaviour, trading pain points and market feedback to identify and implement improvements to account-opening experiences, trading interfaces, advisory-related journeys and other priority features.
• Work with marketing and growth teams on initiatives to improve client activation, trading activity and retention, helping the platform progress from basic operational readiness to sustained business traction.
• Take on cross-functional responsibilities within a lean team, helping establish front-office processes, training standards and collaboration mechanisms to support long-term business expansion.
