There are six qualities we look for in everyone that joins the lang cat, and here they are:
Accountable – we don’t do slopey shoulders. No space for it in a small business.
Curious – there is plenty we all don’t know yet and the pursuit of it is always worthwhile.
Flexible – we all get our hands dirty at the lang cat. No-one is above any job.
Organised – you have to have to have to be able to organise yourself. Don’t confuse our irreverent style with carelessness.
Creative – we know our stuff, but we’re also able to spot insights, hooks, angles and different approaches which others might miss.
Collaborative – you’ve got one of the industry’s best teams at your disposal. We suggest you use it.
What you get in return is a working life which is:
Flexible – we’ll say more on this below, but there’s more to life than work.
Varied – some days probably are the same, but not many.
Supportive – ‘no’ isn’t a word you’ll hear too often if you come up with stuff we should do either for ourselves or for one of our clients.
Challenging – we push ourselves and try to be honest with each other if something isn’t up to scratch. But in a supportive way.
Collegiate – not sure that’s the right word, but the team is there for everyone. All you ever have to do is ask.
Open – everyone gets to find out how we’re doing and we discuss the big decisions.
So, there you have it. Six from you, six from us.

Permanent roles come with a six-month probationary period. Salary is competitive and will depend on experience.
These are also full-time roles, ideally based from our lovely offices in Leith. But if you think different we’re happy to talk about different working patterns and locations. Lots of us have family and caring commitments outside work and we’ll do our best with all of it.
You’ll be onsite with clients from time to time, so you should be comfortable with travel. We prioritise getting the work done over keeping set hours, but that doesn’t mean we expect you to pull all-nighters.
We’re committed to being blind to gender, race, faith, sexuality and physical ability in our recruitment. What we care about is your ability to do the job. If you’re going to be working out of our Leith office then we’re pleased to say it’s wheelchair accessible. We’re always very keen to hear from ‘returners’ who are looking to re-enter the industry after a break.
There’s a pension scheme (8% unconditional), a bonus scheme, and 35 days’ holiday per year inclusive of public holidays. After three months you will qualify for a death in service benefit of four times gross salary. We have an extended benefits policy which gives access to certain additional health and wellbeing services. There’s an electric vehicle leasing scheme you can take part in if you are so inclined and when in Edinburgh you get access to the office Sonos on the understanding that ritual humiliation of your music taste will be guaranteed. The coffee is decent and plentiful.
And that’s it! We hope to hear from you soon.
If you’d like us to consider you, send your CV and a covering letter to hello@thelangcat.co.uk. Tell us why you’re interested in working with us and why you think you’d be a good fit.
You’re welcome to contact us using the same email address if you’d like to ask us questions before you apply.
We provided the research for a report, in conjunction with Parmenion, which reveals how far short of expectations many adviser platforms are falling. The research found that over the last 12 months, 88% of advisers needed to apologise to at least one of their clients on behalf of a platform, and that poor service delivery from platforms impacts 91% of advisers every day.

Service means a lot of things to a lot of different people. It’s so subjective it can be hard to put your finger on. This paper aims to challenge the status quo and inertia that’s built up in the sector for many years.
