If expressions such as ‘cutting edge & slick’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘the future of learning’ come to mind, you are already thinking like the team at Finance Unlocked

We’re on a mission to totally reinvent the way that people learn at work, through our EdTech platform with engaging video-courses presented by top experts and interactive features which support learning and retention. Our proprietary technology platforms provide on-demand bite-size learning that fits into the flow of work for busy professionals.

Join our team if you’re passionate about life-long learning, and want to be part of a young fast-growing business which encourages you to grow.

Company Overview

Finance Unlocked is a fast growing and successful start-up in the B2B EdTech space. Our first product was an on-demand video-delivered learning platform built specifically for the finance sector (short welcome video here). Growth has been rapid, and customers now include global asset managers, banks, law firms and business schools. The company is backed by a highly credible pool of investors with strong expertise in the financial sector.

In 2021, we launched our second product, Sustainability Unlocked (intro video here), which provides comprehensive Sustainability and ESG education to all professionals.
