Description

Customer Service Associate

Budapest, Hungary

At Freetrade, we believe investing should be accessible to everyone. It’s one of the best ways to grow your savings, but for many, it seems complicated, expensive, and out of reach. We’re here to change that.

We’re building a team with diverse and unique perspectives to help us on our mission to demystify investing. Our goal is to help our customers achieve better long-term financial outcomes.

In 2024, we’ll be focusing on making our business cash flow profitable. We’ll also be radically improving our product for our core customer base. In the UK, we now have over 1.6 million registered users, and we offer a range of products such as the Freetrade Pension, a stocks and shares ISA, and UK Treasury bills.

To ensure investing feels accessible and our customers enjoy a great experience it’s vital we have a top quality team on hand to support. Our Hungarian customer service team will help new and prospective investors with a range of queries - from navigating our app to understanding some of the complexities of investing. No prior investment knowledge is required, full training will be provided. It’s a great chance to learn about investments.

As it’s a new team you’ll play a part in building ways of working that make the team environment engaging, effective and fun.

The role will be office based with some flexibility for some home base time. You’ll therefore need to have a dedicated and comfortable space to work from home and good quality internet with a minimum speed of 10mb per second.

We expect most people to work Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:30 (or equivalent) however flexible shifts are available 7 days a week, including early morning and evening if this suits you - please let us know at the point of application if this is of interest.
