This is a senior, hands-on role based in the Netherlands, reporting directly to our Chief Risk & Compliance Officer (CRCO). You'll sit at the intersection of payments, regulation and product, working closely with first-line teams, the MLRO and Management Board. If you're currently managing a slice of the risk universe (e.g. financial or operational risk) and want full enterprise-wide ownership in a greenfield environment, this is for you.

  • Provide independent risk oversight on new products, major changes and strategic initiatives, and act as a key contact for DNB and other regulators on risk matters
  • Design and maintain a fit-for-purpose internal control framework and key controls across payments, safeguarding, liquidity, ICT, outsourcing and incident management
  • Lead risk-based testing, monitoring and follow-up on incidents, control weaknesses and audit findings
  • Provide pragmatic, business-oriented risk advice that keeps us compliant while enabling product and commercial teams to ship at pace
  • Build a strong risk culture through training, guidance and clear, plain-language communication across the organisation

Requirements

  • 7+ years in risk management within financial services, fintech or payments, ideally in the Dutch / broader European market
  • Strong understanding of the regulatory landscape
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating ERM and internal control frameworks, ideally in a tech-driven or high-growth environment
  • Background from fintech, payments or regulated FS is strongly preferred
  • Exceptional communication skills
  • People-focused
  • Pragmatic and calm under pressure
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • able to work independently, structure ambiguity and make sound judgment calls

What we offer

  • Participation in our company share program
  • Best-in-class parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available within your first year)
  • Unlimited paid holiday
  • Work from anywhere - enjoy the flexibility to work from other countries for a few weeks each year through our compliant and flexible Workation policy
  • Relocation options available after 1 year
  • Monthly "EDGE" time - dedicated to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself
  • Flexible, hybrid working options
  • One-off home office setup budget to make your workspace your own
  • Monthly working-from-home and healthcare allowances (where local healthcare benefits are not in available)
