After decades in the financial services industry, their early founding partners saw an opportunity to create a unique and different kind of business. They began with a blank page and a simple vision: to produce outstanding outcomes for clients with a platform that attracts, liberates and challenges the very best people.
Unrestrained by legacy systems and processes, they used their collective expertise to start building a locally managed and controlled business. Being majority staff owned was key to laying the cultural foundations and to driving empowerment and partnership.
As the team started growing, staff stuff that matters was drafted to explain what Barrenjoey stands for and the values to live by.
Barrenjoey officially launched on 21 September 2020 with capital and funding support from our foundation investors, Magellan and Barclays. From our first employee in October 2019, we’ve grown to over 350 people in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Since they officially launched in September 2020, they have been on a journey to hire people that are the best at what they do. They are building a team from scratch and are looking for intelligent people with curious minds who are passionate about delivering outstanding outcomes for their clients and the communities they operate in. While they look for people with a competitive spirit, they also look for those who put team before self.
They employ people from a variety of backgrounds with different educational and work experience. Their teams are made up of a broad range of experts in Communications, Compliance, Corporate Finance, Corporate Services, Equities, Finance, Fixed Income, Legal, Operations, People & Culture, Research, Risk, Tax and Technology.
They believe they offer something unique – being locally controlled and managed with the strength and global reach of their partner, Barclays. Their workplace is energetic and collaborative where people love the opportunity to be entrepreneurial and share their ideas. And because they're a new and growing business, they are challenged (in a positive way!) and get to learn every day.
Barrenjoey offers a lot of benefits to their employers. Here some of the following:
