By giving our 6 million users a clear, open path to pay, save, and invest, we are evolving into the definitive destination for every financial need.
What you'll be doing
As our MiFID/MiCA Expert, you'll be the person who acts as a subject matter expert within our Investment firm and ensures our compliance with all applicable regulations, with a primary focus on MiFID II and MiCA.
Here's what your day-to-day will look like:
Compliance and Risk Management Framework – Support the Head of the Compliance department in implementing and maintaining a robust Compliance Monitoring Programme to ensure adherence to all applicable regulations. Perform second-line of defence controls, identifying risks associated with existing and new investment products, and providing high-impact recommendations.

Who we're looking for
We need a problem-solver who loves teamwork and gets things done. If you're curious and ready for real ownership, you'll fit in! Does this sound like you?
Compliance experience – 3-8 years in a regulated financial institution (e.g., bank, EMI, PI, MiFID investment firm, ManCo, or VASP), with hands-on exposure to MiFID II and/or MiCA, in Luxembourg or Europe.
Regulatory knowledge – A deep understanding of European and Luxembourgish regulatory frameworks applicable to investment firms (including MiFID II, MiCA, MiCAR), with the ability to translate MiFID II/MiCAR and local laws into operations; direct exposure to audits and regulatory inspections is a strong plus.

Tech-forward thinking – A genuine interest in Fintech and virtual assets, with comfort operating in technology-driven environments.
Curiosity and autonomy – A natural drive to stay ahead of the curve as the digital asset world evolves. Highly organised and able to work independently, with a proactive "owner" mentality.
