Financial innovation requires governance that can keep pace with technology. We are looking for a Fintech Risk & Regulatory Strategy Lead to help shape the organisation’s approach to regulatory risk, product governance, operational resilience, and financial-services compliance.

Rather than focusing solely on routine compliance activity, this role operates at the intersection of strategy, regulation, product development, risk, and technology.

The Role

You will advise business and product leaders on regulatory implications, emerging requirements, and risk considerations while helping establish scalable frameworks for responsible fintech growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop strategic approaches to regulatory and operational risk across fintech products.
• Monitor developments affecting European financial services and digital finance.
• Translate regulatory requirements into practical product and operational controls.
• Partner with product and engineering teams during new-product development.
• Lead regulatory-impact assessments for new products, markets, and partnerships.
• Strengthen governance frameworks covering customer onboarding, payments, financial crime, data, and operational resilience.
• Support regulatory licensing and supervisory engagements where required.
• Coordinate internal risk assessments and control reviews.
• Develop management reporting covering key regulatory and operational risks.
• Provide clear recommendations to senior stakeholders on emerging risk areas.
• Contribute to internal policies, procedures, and governance standards.
• Support audit, assurance, and regulatory-review activities.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of experience in fintech, banking, regulatory affairs, risk, compliance, or financial-services consulting.
• Strong understanding of European financial-services regulatory environments.
• Experience translating regulatory requirements into operational or product controls.
• Excellent analytical and strategic-thinking capabilities.
• Strong understanding of digital financial products and technology.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage complex regulatory topics while maintaining commercial awareness.

The Impact

Your work will help create the governance architecture that allows financial technology to scale responsibly, giving product and technology teams the clarity required to innovate within a robust risk framework.
