Commercial Lead - Tenant Referencing

We're on a mission to protect society from fraud and money laundering. We've already protected over 3 million people through life's big transactions.

Fraud and regulation are rising, costing the UK economy over £100bn every year; this makes it more difficult for businesses to protect themselves and their clients - individuals like you and me - from fraud and money laundering.

Our co-founders Olly and Jack were led to this area when a friend was defrauded of £25K when buying their first property. At the time, anti-fraud technology didn't exist, which meant that completing the anti-fraud checks required in these processes was largely manual. These big life moments should be exciting, but instead are often confusing and scary due to the painful process of completing these paper-based checks and the risk of fraud.

Thirdfort helps businesses to facilitate these anti-fraud checks so that individuals know they can transact safely and seamlessly with professionals during these big transactions. Our anti-fraud platform provides a secure way for professionals in regulated sectors like Lawyers, Estate Agents and Accountants to transfer funds and verify sensitive information through app-based document checks, facial recognition and open banking.

Over 1,500 businesses now trust Thirdfort to verify their clients. We are FCA regulated and have raised over $33m in capital from leading Fintech investors Breega and Element Ventures, as well as the founders of Zoopla, Funding Circle, Comply Advantage, Tessian, Fenergo and Fidel.

The mission of the role:

Our referencing product is growing fast in an underserved market. With high ambitions, we're building a small, high-ownership unit to take it further. As our Commercial Lead, you'll own the whole engine: from creating the GTM strategy to taking the product to market, and growing it, yourself. You’ll win new business, grow and keep the customer base, and run the commercial operations that delivers it. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the Product & Technology Lead to establish a market-leading product.

This role won’t initially have reports; we’re intentionally keeping the unit lean to optimise for speed. It's a broad and varied role for somebody who is commercial and strategically minded, comfortable operating in a very entrepreneurial setup and getting hands-on. You’ll need to partner with teams across the business, but you’ll be responsible for the outcomes and making things happen. As a result, you get to own the number, have real autonomy, and there’s real upside.

For this role, we'd love this person to be able to join us in our London office a ~3 days per week - being together as a team is valuable for us, especially at this stage of growth.
