Financial Services Administrator

Description:

Oakley Recruitment is working in partnership with an expanding organisation based in Bromsgrove. This is an excellent opportunity to join the team as a Financial Services Administrator on a full-time permanent basis

Culture and Environment

Our client fosters a dynamic and professional culture that is both welcoming and empowering. They are committed to delivering exceptional service to their clients while cultivating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and driven to grow. Innovation, development, and excellence are at the heart of everything they do.

Personality

We’re looking for a proactive and highly organised professional who thrives in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. This opportunity would suit someone with strong administrative experience gained within Financial Services, Insurance, Investment Banking, Wealth Management, or a similar regulated sector.

You’ll take pride in delivering an exceptional client experience, building strong relationships, and ensuring administration is completed accurately and efficiently. With excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills, you’ll be confident managing multiple priorities while providing first-class support to both clients and colleagues.
